While reading the replies to <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330927> I tried a few things: $ gnomevfs-info http://nectarine.ipsyn.net:8002/ Error: Generic error $ sudo ngrep host nectarine.ipsyn.net interface: ra0 (192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0) filter: (ip or ip6) and ( host nectarine.ipsyn.net ) #### T 192.168.0.50:36020 -> 193.109.142.25:8002 [AP] HEAD / HTTP/1.1..Host: nectarine.ipsyn.net:8002..User-Agent: gnome-vfs/2.14 .1 neon/0.25.4..Keep-Alive: ..Connection: TE, Keep-Alive..TE: trailers.... ### It seems the server drops the connection when gnome-vfs sends the HEAD request.
