Bug Description
Binary package hint: libgnomevfs2-0
Cannot read from an SSL secured DAV folder running on a Centos 5 server (Apache 2.2.3, httpd-2.
Access to the DAV folder without SSL encryption works fine. Firefox can access the server by https without problem. The dav client cadaver (custom built against openssl) works, as does nautilus on a Centos 5 client.
If I build libgnomevfs2-0 from the Ubuntu sources with the same ./configure arguments EXCEPT for "--disable-openssl --enable-gnutls" (e.g. build against openssl rather than gnutls). everything works as expected.
I've noted that reads and writes work using the stock gnome-vfs with an SSL secured DAV folder running on an old Apache 1.3 server. So I would suspect that the problem is the result of an interaction between gnutls and apache 2.2/mod_ssl.
Thank you for your bug. Could you describe an easy way to configure a setup triggering it? The package can't be built with openssl because its license is not compatible with the GPL and gnome-vfs has no exception clause
