Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Everytime I am trying to connect to my webdavs server, nautilus tries to open the link with firefox. Using https or webdavs doesn't matter.

Thank you for your bug. How do you open the webdav location? What version of Ubuntu do you use?

nautilus location/adresse bar:
webdavs://192.168.3.1/(w/o foldername) [enter]
davs://192.168.3.1/(w/o foldername) [enter]
https://192.168.3.1/(w/o foldername) [enter]

this opens mostly firefox or gives me an error message "can't find ..."

or

connect to new server: ..... webdavs/ip/name/...

I'm using ubuntu 6.10-386.

Btw: Nautilus can't connect to my vsftp server, too. Firefox with fireftp does.

On Edgy I get davs shares opened with nautilus, but dav shares are opened with firefox (which doesn't know what to do with the URI)

This problem happened to me when I set up an webdavs share used an incorrect configuration on my server. Using this (incorrect) share, Firefox whould open the "davs://" URI. When I'd fixed the error however, nautilus opened the share like it should.

I suppose it could be that the server sends an error back over http, which causes nautilus to pass the error-page to Firefox.

If it helps, the error in my Apache2 config file was in the Alias directive:

...
Alias /shared "/var/www_dav_shared/"
<Directory /var/www_dav/shared>
...

Here the <Directory> points to the wrong location. In my browser the error was ignored, but Nautilus probably detected it.
