[users] fuse-davfs bug?

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have not been able to access the IEEE 802.11 webdav server with mount 
-t davfs but can access it with cadaver.  The URI is 
http://dav.mentor.ieee.org:80/

One person on the IEEE list offered a patch.  Another person said that 
this server is trying to set a cookie and fuse.davfs does not support 
cookies.

Anyway here is what I have tried and the error message

mount -t davfs dav://dav.mentor.ieee.org:80/ /mnt/ieee
dav://dav.mentor.ieee.org:80/ or hit enter for none.
Username:
/sbin/mount.davfs: mounting failed; the server does not support WebDAV

Oh, and this created a 
/var/cache/davfs2/dav.mentor.ieee.org+mnt-ieee+root/ directory.


and the offered patch:

I got this to work, but I had to patch and recompile davfs2.  This
works in ubuntu:
