Nautilus Webdav Shares in F9 broken?

[gavzda]

Is anyone else experiencing odd behaviour when mounting/accessing webdav(s) shares within Nautilus on Fedora 9?

Fedora 8 worked beautifully - we could simply go to File > Connect to Server, enter the details and then it would me mounted and a link placed on the users desktop for use any time they'd like.

In Fedora 9 we follow the same procedure but webdavs is not an option (only webdav) and we are unable to name the share. When trying to connect to the webdav share from the Nautilus places list or under Computer on the desktop, where it displays as a mounted drive, we get an error:
---------------------
Error: Not a WebDAV enabled share
Please select another viewer and try again.
---------------------

However if we access the same webdav share from a bookmark it appears to work, the share contents is displayed etc but copying/moving files and general navigation around the share often fails.

Is this fallout from the move to gnome-vfs2 in Gnome 2.22? Is anyone successfully using webdav(s) shares from within Nautilus?

I was able to work around this problem by saving a bookmark to the dav:// link (which doesn't work), and then manually editing my ~/.gtk-bookmarks file to change the dav:// protocol to davs://.

Ugly, but it worked around the problem. It isn't perfect because nautilus has trouble 'remembering' to append the WebDAV folder name to the webdav server name, so I have to manually expand the broken WebDAV link in nautilus' left tree pane, and then click the folder name that eventually appears.

I'm guessing Secure WebDAV is yet another feature that isn't working right in Gnome 2.22, and that is why they disabled it in the UI.

I've also noticed that you can no longer work with files & folders on a webdav (not even wedavs) share that contain symbols, i.e. ",", "&" etc. In Fedora 8 this was not a problem.

Where is the best place to report these bugs? Gnome? Nautilus? Gnome-vfs2?

Using Fedora 10 I was able to connect using the custom location option and then entering the dav URL something like this:
davs://myserver.com/path

I was prompted for the username and password and it seemed to work ok. I wish there was a checkbox or something for https so that I wouldn't have to remember what the url syntax is.
