GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 730444
Incorrect URL for access to "Public files" share
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:31:03 UTC
On my system, dav://nuvo.local isn't where the share actually is. gnome-user-share uses whatever the kernel feels is available to the user (above port 1024 in all cases). The dav:// implementation in gvfs uses port 80 by default.

Created attachment 299632 [details] configuration
Created attachment 299633 [details] dav://fedora.local gives error in nautilus and also not accessible in android webdav clients
Created attachment 299638 [details] but the dav://fedora.local:60229 (random high port assigned by user-share) works, which doesn't make file sharing easy for android and other clients. The user need to see the port number from the ~/.config/user-share/log file just to get the file sharing work with non-nautilus clients. Even with nautilus port number is a must. File sharing is still difficult for normal users in Gnome OS. Technical users can set their web, ftp servers or samba servers, but what about regular users with firewall and selinux headache?
Just what are you trying to achieve here? It's pretty clear from the start that there is a bug. What's the point of throwing more data at it when we know for a fact that there is a bug? There's really nothing to add unless it's a patch...
Bastien, what kind of patch would you like to see for this? It sounds feasible to just expose the port as part the URI. Would that be enough?
See bug 594497 for a related issue. We may also want to expose the username in the URI, e.g. "dav://cosimoc@hostname.local:port"

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
