Description Tomasz Sterna 2006-11-05 13:20:26 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
After installing Firefox 2, Nautilus tries to open dav:// links in Firefox.

Steps to reproduce:
Double-click dav:// connected share on desktop.

Actual results:
Firefox pops up a dialog saying that it doesn't know how to handle dav: protocol.

Expected results:
Nautilus should display window browsing WebDAV share.

Does this happen every time?
Every time.

I can confirm this on Ubuntu Edgy
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2007-01-19 17:26:12 UTC 
Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/70690

From the launchpad page:

"This problem happened to me when I set up an webdavs share used an incorrect configuration on my server. Using this (incorrect) share, Firefox whould open the "davs://" URI. When I'd fixed the error however, nautilus opened the share like it should.

I suppose it could be that the server sends an error back over http, which causes nautilus to pass the error-page to Firefox.

If it helps, the error in my Apache2 config file was in the Alias directive:

...
Alias /shared "/var/www_dav_shared/"
<Directory /var/www_dav/shared>
...

Here the <Directory> points to the wrong location. In my browser the error was ignored, but Nautilus probably detected it."

Actually that's a fair point, I guess my test dav:// share must have been configured incorrectly because I just made another and it does work, so I withdraw my confirmation!
