proxy and secure webdav nautilus

[jehon]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When connecting to a secure webdav server using the "file > connect to server" command of nautilus, a dialog box open.

You specify a "user name" (and other options: server name, port, ) in the box, it then ask for password (ok) and then a error message pop up and access is not granted:

Could not display "davs://xxx@yyy/zz".

Error: HTTP Error: Authorization Required
Please select another viewer and try again.

If you don't specify a "user name" in the first box, it then ask for it aside with the password, and then the access is granted without any problem.

release: 9.04
nautilus: 1:2.26.2-0ubuntu1
configuration:
- system wide proxy set with "System -> Preference -> Network proxy"
- proxy requires no authentification
- server is https only, auth is done through digest

Suggestions:
- the error message pop up so quickly, it is possible that the request don't even go out of nautilus
- params are ok, pwd and user name are correct
- server respond correctly
- proxy is used correctly by both ways (not doing so would result in a +/- 30 seconds delay between request and time-out)
-> I thing the "user name" field is not re-used by request

upstream bug comment

"Might be a duplicate of #549415. Any chance access that for PROPFIND you don't
need to auth but for the actual connect you need? If you don't know what I am
talking about, then any chance I can get a network trace (i.e. use wireshark to
see what the communication with the server looks like)?

-> Needinfo for now. If its a dup of #549415 please mark is as such and add
information there. If it is not, don't hesitate to reopen."
