Description bart¦decrem 2001-09-10 01:00:38 UTC
I'm running a WebDAV server at home (http://www.decrem.com/dav).  I'm able to
access it from a Windows client just fine, and also using a Web browser, but not
with Nautilus.  Bummer :)

The error message I get is:
 "Couldn't display "http://www.decrem.com/dav" because access was denied."

If I point Netscape to the same URL I get a login prompt instead.  Of course,
since this is a DAV folder, the desired result with Nautilus would be that I log
in, and then have write permission.

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

point nautilus to
http://www.decrem.com/dav

* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

  "Couldn't display "http://www.decrem.com/dav" because access was denied."

* EXPECTED RESULTS: 

  Userid/password login prompt, then able to write to directory.

I'm happy to provide a userid/password if you'd like to try this out.

My setup is the ModDAV module on an Apache server on RH6.2 box.  I'm using the
.htaccess file to manager user permissions.

I don't think this is a 1.0 blocker.

Bart, you loser! :)

Your DAV site is blocked by a username/password!

Nautilus/gnome-vfs don't currently support authentication.  If you're really
desperate, encoding your username and password in the URI might work:

http://bart:password@www.decrem.com/dav

Otherwise, you'll just have to wait.

hey dude, I was pretty proud that I was able to install WebDAV on my server.

your trick works. I'm psyched!

Verified that we don't yet support FTP/HTTP/WebDAV/etc authentication.

I think this would be nice to have for 1.2.

I personally agree in the general case. (We are not useful as an FTP client if
we do not support the ability to login.)
