Description Jonathan Underwood 2011-11-02 13:14:40 UTC
Description of problem:
If I specify the username for a davs mount in the URL it fails to mount:

$ gvfs-mount  'davs://ucapjun.ac.uk/home/ucap/ucapjun'
Error mounting location: Not a WebDAV-enabled share

But if I don't specify the username in the URL (i.e. gvfs-mount  'davs://ifsp-webdav1.ucl.ac.uk/home/ucap/ucapjun') then I am asked for the username and password and then the mount proceeds successfully.

The same thing is seen if I use the Places->Connect to Server dialogue.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa | grep gvfs
gvfs-archive-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-afc-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-smb-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-gphoto2-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-fuse-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-obexftp-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-11-02 13:49:15 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 Ondrej Holy 2015-10-06 10:27:09 UTC
I suppose it was caused by wrong server configuration. It works correctly with recent gvfs version for me currently:

$ rpm -q gvfs
gvfs-1.4.3-22.el6.i686
$ gvfs-mount  'davs://ucapjun.ac.uk/home/ucap/ucapjun'
Enter password for uclusers.ucl.ac.uk
Password: 

Feel free to reopen with additional info if you are still facing this issue.
