Nautilus error: "dav locations no longer supported"

Just got greeted by this error message (see title) when attempting to access my Nextcloud storage (dav://192.168.100.105:30027/remote.php/dav/files/dad) in GNOME Nautilus. Yesterday it was working fine.

Anyone?

(blendOS, GNOME 48, Nextcloud 31.0.8 on TrueNAS)

this looks strange, expecting davs:// with valid certificate…

Is WebDAV on its way out? Is this a new development? Or am I missing some package or somethin’?

I hope not :wink:

..but no, I don’t think so. This is what it looks like for me in GNOME 48 on Arch Linux:

Since BlendOS seems to be Arch based, probably this one: https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=gvfs-dnssd

Yeah, thanks. I figured out eventually that gvfs-dnssd was missing. I installed it, and everything works fine. Interestingly, however, that package seems to have been removed recently (and surreptitiously) from blendOS. as I had no problem accessing WebDAV shares when I installed blendOS a week ago.

I don’t really know blendOS. In Arch, it’s part of the gnome package group.

blendOS, while being Arch-based, seems to handle things differently though. It appears to be a container-based, atomic or immutable distribution with the ability to install native Arch packages. So I’m not really sure what happened there.

But I definitely don’t think WebDAV is disappearing from GNOME, or even that it’s generally ‘on its way out’. :slight_smile:
