On Ubuntu 11.10, I've got problems mounting a WebDAV resource (Places > Connect to Server). It doesn't tell me why via the GUI. Other resources work, so I'd like to debug where the error is coming from.

Is there a log GVFS writes to? Or can I switch it into debugging mode somehow?

    CLI's gvfs-mount is equally mute.

It probably just outputs it to stderr. Look in ~/.xsession-errors.

    Nope. Nothing in there. The GVFS mounter GUI just returns after 5 minutes or so with an error saying the resource did not answer, could not be contacted due to DBUS security and such.

My WebDAV server requires basic auth over https.

As it seems, GVFS GUI and gvfs-mount do not properly pass credentials to WebDAV servers. I need to dig further to find out if that is only for certain methods or a real bug in gvfs.

And obviously, 401 responses (forbidden/auth required) from a peer server, are reported as "server did not answer" erroneously by GVFS GUI and gvfs-mount.
