Accessing a WebDAV folger with Gnome 2.4 was no problem, but is not longer possible after upgrade to Gnome 2.6. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open Nautilus 2.6.0 2. type in a valid WebDAV server URL in the "Location" field 3. press <enter> Actual Results: Error message pops up: The folder contents could not be displayed. "http: <my_webdav_server>" couldn't be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted.

dunno, never worked with webdev. It seems they should be handled by gnome-vfs http plugin. Not sure what changed.
How can i see which plugins is involved? BTW: I found this working with URLs like http://<my_webdav_server>/<subdir>/ but not with the main directory http://<my_webdav_server>/
still a problem ? are there public versions of these servers so we can test ?
Yes, the problem still exists. Now nautilus shows the http content of the resource but not a file system view. In KDE this is solved by different addressing scheme (http://<server-name>/ vs. webdav://<server-name>/). Unfortunally the server is not reachable from the internet, but probybly i can setup a folder in early september accesible from the internet to some developers for a month or so. If You think this might be helpfull please drop me a line with a couple of adresses so i can send the login data to this peoples.
i tried with a public account, works fine here.. the url prefix is apperantly dav:// for gnome-vfs .. in nautilus->file menu you can select 'connect to server' and choose webdav there. Does that work for you ?
Nope, i cannot select webdav there. I've only two input fields (Linke name, Locatio (URL)) and two buttons (Cancel, Connect). When i enter a name and dav://<my-server>/ an try to connect (click on Connect), nothing happens. When i enter dav://<my-server>/ into nautilus' location bar i get an error: Couldn't display "dav://<my-server>/". Nautilus cannot handle dav: locations. The installed gnome-base/gnome-vfs version is 2.6.1.1.
The connect to server dialogue was redone for 2.8 with those extra options (maybe what foser was thinking of?)
yeah well.. halfway, i gave the vfs name to try that too.
Webdav works perfectly here in GNOME 2.6, using dav://<server>/<dir>. I'm prompted for username and password, enter that and then it works.
