Bug Description

Binary package hint: gvfs

When trying to mount some webdav shares (which worked fine under gnomevfs), gvfs is unable to authenticate.
This is due to the server not returning an algorithm to use, and libsoup (which gvfs uses for webdav) interprets this wrongly. The RFC is clear that this must be interpreted as MD5 should be used.

Attached (one-liner) patch fixes this issue for me.

Bug #223521 is possibly a dupe of this one.

If access to an affected server is required for testing, please ping me and I can probably set one up.
