No option to connect to WebDav(HTTPS)

[Garrett Fields]

Original question posted in the answers tab: In Gusty Under Places -> Connect to Server, WebDav(HTTPS) used to be listed as a service. Worked great! In Hardy, I don't see it. Any hints to making this work for me again?

No responses.....

Starting to think this is an omission.

I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy & Connect to Server works for me. what does dpkg -l nautilus say? it should be version 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4. Try running it in the terminal: gnome-connect-server.

Thanks for your report, but this not a bug, nor an omission of any kind. Just enter the HTTP/DAV URI into the dialog and it will do the correct thing. For secure connections, use https:// and/or davs:// instead of http:// and/or dav://.

I think fields_g is looking for the WebDav (HTTP) option like in the attached image.

Thanks for your comments. I am looking for the return of the WebDav(HTTPS) option in the dropdown menu that is found in the image above. It was there in Gusty and worked properly for me.

I tried to play around with the "Custom Location" service type and now I know there is something wrong. Here's what I found when I put in various URIs:

http://xxxxxx.com/users/myaccount -> Firefox opens and asks for authentication, followed by web interface.

https://xxxxxx.com/users/myaccount -> Same behavior as http

dav://xxxxxx.com/users/myaccount -> "Can't display location "dav://xxxxxx.com/users/myaccount" HTTP Error: Moved Temporarily"

davs://xxxxxx.com/users/myaccount -> Nautilius prompts for User/Pass, then says "Can't display location "dav://xxxxxx.com/users/myaccount" HTTP Error:Not Found" BUT!!!!! a network folder is mounted (appears on desktop and under places in Nautilus) named "WebDAV on xxxxxx.com" and clicking on it opens a properly usable net folder.

What else can I do to help you guys out?

Oh.. and I forgot to state that I am running version 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4.

Just found bug #222532. This one as a duplicate.
