From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: After opening a webdav location in a nautilus window, dragging the location to the desktop seems to correctly create a .desktop file for the given url. However, double-clicking on the created icon attempts to open the webdav location using mozilla. The expected behavior is to open a nautilus window to display the dav contents. I've observed this with both http:// and https:// dav servers, if that makes a difference. This functionality worked correctly in redhat (null), but is broken in my redhat 8.0 installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open a web dav server in a nautilus window 2.click and drag from the "location" label in the location bar, drag to the desktop to create an icon for this location. 3.open the newly created icon; it will open in mozilla instead of nautilus. Additional info:
This bug was knowingly created to fix bug #70666 Uncreating it requires a real fix to #70666
Some sort of fix is in 2.8.0 by using dav:// to access webdav sites.
