Description Thomas Uhl 2006-03-05 15:51:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
WebDAV shares are not browsable in the GNOME file selector. 
Browsing a SSH/SFTP share and saving a file works.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount a server via WebDAV
2. Open gedit
3. Type in text
4. Press <Ctrl> S
5. Try to browse the mounted WebDAV share


Actual results:
File selector displays local directories and files

Expected results:
Files on WebDav share should be displayed

Does this happen every time?
yes

I can confirm this behavior from GNOME 2.10 to 2.14, as shows the following bug in the Debian database.

[ forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/330270 ]

Whenever I try to open a file over WebDAV (http or https) with the Open
File dialog of any GNOME app, I go to CTRL-L and type
dav://site.com/dav/ and it immediately asks for a username and password,
which I provide, then it shows me an autocomplete list under the text
I'm typing with the files it finds on the WebDAV server. But when I
click on Open, the main file chooser dialog area does not get updated,
so I can't open the WebDAV file. It's odd since the system is able to
access the WebDAV server because I can see the names of the files
popping under the address input area.

This bug does not affect FTP or SSH, and I think it doesn't affect SMB
either.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:08:40 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
