Comment 14 for bug 340359

For what is worth, I was also suffering from this bug (I am the reporter of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566853 mentioned by Jörn Dreyer in comment # 11), but all seems fixed in ubuntu 9.10/gnome 2.28.

Just for completeness, I still have problems connecting to some webdav servers, but although error messages are very similar, that is a different issue (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582219)
