Description

According to https://github.com/nextcloud/android-library/blob/a57fce64c1ead1638966bb9c478c6adba1f374a8/library/src/main/java/com/owncloud/android/lib/common/network/WebdavEntry.java#L186-L189
it seems that some (old) server added a trailing ";".

Can you check and verify that this does not happen in our support server (down to NC16).
