WebDAV permissions problem
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2001-02-16 00:09:49 ---- I don't think this is a 1.0 blocker. ------- Additional Comments From mikef@praxis.etla.net 2001-02-16 00:35:44 ---- 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. ------- Additional Comments From bart@eazel.com 2001-02-16 20:32:56 ---- hey dude, I was pretty proud that I was able to install WebDAV on my server. your trick works. I'm psyched! ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-02-25 21:51:59 ---- Verified that we don't yet support FTP/HTTP/WebDAV/etc authentication. ------- Additional Comments From bart@eazel.com 2001-02-25 22:02:28 ---- I think this would be nice to have for 1.2. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-02-25 22:05:45 ---- I personally agree in the general case. (We are not useful as an FTP client if we do not support the ability to login.) ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:00 ------- The original reporter (bart@eazel.com) of this bug does not have an account here.
