webdav on mediacenter.gmx.net dos not work

[Dominik Holler]

Binary package hint: gvfs-backends

webdav on mediacenter.gmx.net dos not work in gnome.
gmx is an important mail and webdav provider in germany.

this is a bug in GnomeVFS #153054 from gnome 2.8 from 2004
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153054

if replacing GnomeVFS, this server is an important testcase for german users.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

bug is in hardy/alpha-3

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks for your report, may you test if it works with latest package of GVFS available in Hardy? thanks.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

I tried the daily-live of Feb. 5th, but I do not know how to use GVFS. There is no "Connect to server" in the places menu, and a "webdavs://username@server" or "webdav://username@server" in the location bar does not work.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

because I do not know how to test GVFS via gui,
I poat account informations for gmx.net.
Maybe you have to possibility to try GVFS without gui.
thx

In daily-live of Feb. 19th neither "webdavs://", "webdav://" nor there is a "Cennect to Server"-Button, so I still see no way to test webdav in GVFS.

Hi, I have exactly the same Problem.

[Oliver Gerlich (ogerlich)]

AFAIK the address has to start with dav:// or davs:// , so try dav://mediacenter.gmx.net/ .

[nikolaj.kuebler (nikolaj-kuebler)]

dav://mediacenter.gmx.net/ || davs://mediacenter.gmx.net/ dont't work with my Nautilus 2.20.0

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

gnome 2.20 is using GnomeVFS, which hast bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153054
at least since 2004.

This bug is for gvfs, introduced with gnome 2.21/2.22

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

the webdav module It's being worked by Christian Kellner (upstream gvfs developer) and it should be available soon, thanks you.

[Oliver Gerlich (ogerlich)]

After the latest gfvs update (is now 0.1.8-0ubuntu1) webdav now basically works for me in Hardy. Accessing dav://mediacenter.gmx.net/ or davs://mediacenter.gmx.net/ in Nautilus correctly asks for user/pw and then displays the content.

There are still some glitches (folders have wrong icon, url is extended to "dav://mediacenter.gmx.net:0/", and some authentication things), but I suppose these would be different bug reports? And this one can be closed?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

May someone else confirm that it's working with 0.1.8 ? thanks.

[Christian Kellner (gicmo)]

Oh public access to gmx stuff. Nice. Why did nobody subscribe me to that bug?

[Christian Glahn (cpglahn)]

This appears to be related to this bug

The davs:// protocol is only supported via nautilus' location bar.

It is still not possible to connect to a davs:// shares via the Places menu.

Once a user is connected to a davs:// share a icon to the location appears on the desktop.

If a user clicks on that icon an error dialog pops up and insists that the share is not a valid WebDAV share, although another window of Nautilus is still connected to the share and can access all files on that share.

I run ubuntu 8.04 alpha 5 with the latest updates. (a screenshot of the problem is attached)

[Christian Kellner (gicmo)]

Christian,

what you describe is *imho* a nautilus bug not a gvfs. You should file a new bug against nautilus. Thanks ;-)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

is this issue fixed in hardy now? does mediacenter.gmx.net mounts work correctly?

[nikolaj.kuebler (nikolaj-kuebler)]

In my Ubuntu 8.04 the connection from nautilus to mediacenter.gmx.net via davs://mediacenter.gmx.net works fine.
BUT: I can't create a new Folder for example.
Is this a bug or is this normal for the gmx Mediacenter?

[werner-l (werner-lauckner)]

Webdavs for Web.de doesn't also work with nautilus in Ubuntu hardy. Error message: "Fehler: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus). Bitte wählen Sie einen anderen Betrachter und versuchen Sie es erneut."

[Christian Kellner (gicmo)]

Ahh please stop mixing all issues here. Also don't mix gvfs with gnome-vfs bugs. Its a total re-write, not using a single line from the old code. Also open different bugs for different issues, please. Thanks

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Based on the bug history, it's my understanding that the original bug reported here has been fixed. If there are other bugs involving webdav access, please file separate bug reports for those issues as previously suggested.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

I do not think so:

> BUT: I can't create a new Folder for example.

This sounds like the connection is working, but at least creating folders not.
Somebody should figure out which actions are working and which not.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

gvfs 0.2.3-0ubuntu3 connects to gmx, creates folders and loads files up and down.
this bug can be closed.
thx

[Riccardo Casatta (riccardo-casatta)]

i mount correctly the gmx dav repo, but when i try to connect to my own dav repo (it works with gutsy) that doesn't use the standard port, it doesn't work...

one example is better than thousand words:

that's the link that work in gutsy

davs://myrepo:4444/public

this link doesn't work anymore in hardy

[Riccardo Casatta (riccardo-casatta)]

here is a screenshot

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

try:
dav://myrepo:4444/public

(dav instead of davs)

[Samuel Wolf (samuel-wolf)]

Its Hardy 8.04 and davs:// dont work.

[Dominik Holler (dominik-holler)]

Does dav:// work ? (try even if the url starts with httpS://)

[Samuel Wolf (samuel-wolf)]

I never test dav, but I have news:
- open nautilus
- davs://server1.wolf.intern/downloads
- username and Passwort prompt is comeing
- put it in and press OK
- than an error is comeing (screenshot)
- but I get an bookmark to davs://server1.wolf.intern and it still work without an error

[Samuel Wolf (samuel-wolf)]

And the next thing is, Ubuntu 8.04 have not a entry for Webdav SSL like Ubuntu 7.10

First I think a package is missing, but I dont find one with gnome webdav ssl.

[Christian Kellner (gicmo)]

Guys, you are abusing this bug report for different issues. The last bug, filed by slu is indeed a nautilus bug. I am very happy for all bug reports I get, but I'd really appreciate it if you could file different issues for different problems. Please focus only on mediacenter bugs here. And even for mediacenter different problems should have different bugs. It's not like opening bugs does cost anything, does it? ;-)

Thanks anyway and cheers.
