Title:
  Nautilus doesn't prompt for WebDAV password if it is needed for
  writing only

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  If in Apache I set a Dav directory with the following limit (read is
  allowed for everyone, but only authenticated users can write to it):

  <Limit POST PUT DELETE>                               
                  Require valid-user
  </Limit>

  Using a dav:// URL, Nautilus will access this directory in read mode,
  which is OK. However, if I try to put something into the directory,
  Nautilus won't prompt me for a password and just give me an access
  denied error.

  If I try the same thing using Konqueror (with a webdav:// URL),
  Konqueror will also give me normal access in read mode, but if I try
  to put something into the directory then it will prompt me for a
  password and the transfer will then successfully occur: that is the
  expected behavior.
