Error message

failed to create HTTP request: %w

What it means

http.NewRequestWithContext rejected the PUT request for the rename endpoint before any network I/O. Go only errors here for a malformed method, an unparseable URL, or a nil body reader misuse — the URL is built with fmt.Sprintf from d.apiBase, VolumeID and LinkID, so bad values in any of these produce this.

Solutions

1. Log renameURL when this fires and check apiBase config
2. Validate MainShare.VolumeID is non-empty and looks like a Proton ID after Init
3. Ensure Init fully completed (RootLink and MainShare populated) before any rename call

Example fix

// before
renameURL := fmt.Sprintf(d.apiBase+"/drive/v2/volumes/%s/links/%s/rename", d.MainShare.VolumeID, linkID)
// after
if d.MainShare.VolumeID == "" || linkID == "" { return fmt.Errorf("volumeID or linkID is empty") }
renameURL := fmt.Sprintf(d.apiBase+"/drive/v2/volumes/%s/links/%s/rename", d.MainShare.VolumeID, linkID)

if d.MainShare == nil || d.MainShare.VolumeID == "" {
    return fmt.Errorf("driver not initialized: VolumeID empty")
}
u, err := url.Parse(d.apiBase)
if err != nil || u.Scheme == "" || u.Host == "" {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid apiBase: %q", d.apiBase)
}

When it happens

Trigger: apiBase misconfigured (e.g. missing scheme, containing spaces), or VolumeID/LinkID containing control characters or whitespace from corrupted state, making renameURL unparseable.

Common situations: Typo in the driver's apiBase config value; empty or garbage MainShare.VolumeID because Init partially failed; link IDs read from a truncated cache.
