Description

Two users have complained they cannot use WebDAV with the ’ Connect to server’ feature in Nautilus in Tails.

I have set up a wevdav system on my local network and i can connect to my other machine, running debian and apache2 with webdav, from nautilus with Tails 1.1.1
with an authorisation file (webdavs).

it works, except the name resolving (expected with Tor). i need to edit /etc/hosts to connect.

i cannot test in Internet because of lack of webdav servers. most of the test servers offered online are not working.

i know webdav is a silly protocol, but we should support it right?

is there any webdav server available to test?
