Title:
gvfs-mount does not support WebDAV https resources requiring
authentication
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Whenever I tried to mount a WebDAV https resource that requires Basic
Authentication, either via the "Connect to Server..." gvfs-mount GUI
or via CLI gvfs-mount, the UI went into a long mute pause, or the CLI
command just did nothing - and then, after a few minutes, I got the
error that the remote resource did not answer.
As I administer the WebDAV server, I looked into the logs and noticed
that the GVFS client (gvfs/1.10.0) did not send credentials, although
the server clearly answered with "401 Auth Required".
Can somebody confirm that gvfs-mount doesn't support authentication for
WebDAV https resources?
And why is the GUI asking for username and password if these aren't passed on
to the WebDAV server?
davfs, dave, litmus and all the others confirmed that my server works
to spec and they connect without trouble. Only gvfs doesn't. It's
clearly an issue with gfvs-mount, that, btw, doens't mention how to
supply credentials on the CLI for login-only resources and doesn't ask
for it interactively, not for http resources and not for https
resources.
Important:
It could be , this is an issue with the https SSL backend, as I've found out
that a WebDAV resource that requires credentials but does so over insecure
http, works. An example is the http://demo.sabredav.org/public/ demo server.
Sadly, this server has no https alternate URL to confirm.
