Description Jeremy Bicha 2016-10-02 05:30:26 UTC 
What happened
=============
- I enabled Sharing>Personal File Sharing on a Fedora 24 host (GNOME 3.20).
- I then entered the dav:// link it provided in Nautilus's "Connect to Server" on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
- Well, technically, I used my IP address instead of the hostname since my local home network couldn't resolve the hostname

- It didn't connect and gave me this popup "Unhandled error message: HTTP Error: Could not connect: Connection refused"

Workaround
==========
GNOME 3.22 host:
----------------
systemctl status --user gnome-user-share-webdav.service
Look for whatever 5 digit port apache is set to Listen to
Then connect to something like dav://192.168.0.101:35753

GNOME 3.20 host:
----------------
netstat -an | grep "LISTEN "
Look for a 5-digit port number and connect to that like above

Suggested fix
=============
Add the port number to the "File Sharing" window in Settings>Sharing. This should be possible without affecting translations.

The port number apparently changes every time the service is started.
