Issue connecting StrongBox with a Nexcloud instance with WebDAV on iOS #856

Hi,
I'm using StrongBox for years now to manage kdbx files on iPhone.
I was using Google Drive and I recently moves the files to a public provider of NextCloud.
I'm currently using the iOS file manager, but gien the recurring issues (files not found, and, from time to time syncing issues, etc.), I wanted to try the WebDAV access method, but I was not able to connect:

My provider gave me a link for WebDav in the standard NextCloud form:
https://use05.thegood.cloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

The issue is that USERNAME is a mail address [email protected] translating into /xxx.xxx%40gmail.com

When I enter the the link into the StrongBox WebDav connexion utility, there is a red alert indicating "Are you sure the URL is correct?" and nothing happens when the I press the "test and connect" button.

If I remove the USERNAME in the URL, then the red alert disappears, but I get an Error 405 when I press the "test and connect" button.

If I enter manually the WedDav link, the red alert appears as soon as I type xxx.x or x.x (ie. one letter after a dot) and disappears as soon as the lettres after the dot are removed.
As long as the red alert is present, nothings happens.

I've connected successfully with the same credentials using another iOS application (WebDav Nav), so it is not an issue with the provider or the protocol.

I have the latest version of StrongBox on iOS (1.62.3) and it is not a pro license.

Is it a limitation or a bug or StrongBox using another kind of URL or else?
