Title:
  Can't open files on WebDAV share

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  New
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  I have a home server running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) that shares a folder
  using WebDAV. I can navigate the folder using Nautilus on a client
  laptop running 9.10 (Karmic) and open any file by double-clicking on
  them, except for OpenOffice files, in which case I get an error
  message (see attached screenshot). I also tried from the File -> Open
  menu item in OO.o with identical results: same error message.

  Steps to reproduce #1 - via Nautilus
  - Create a shared directory on a server, share it through WebDAV
  - Connect to the shared directory using a client machine and add that share to the Nautilus bookmarks
  - Open the shared drive through Nautilus
  - Navigate to a directory
  - Double-click on a non-OO.o file (e.g. a PDF or JPG file)
  - The file opens normally
  - Double click on an OO.o file (e.g. a .ods OpenOffice Calc or .odt OpenOffice Writer file)

  Steps to reproduce #2 - via File -> Open
  - Create a shared directory on a server, share it through WebDAV
  - Connect to the shared directory using a client machine and add that share to the Nautilus bookmarks
  - Start OpenOffice
  - Select File -> Open
  - Navigate to a directory
  - Select an OO.o file to open (e.g. a .ods OpenOffice Calc or .odt OpenOffice Writer file)

  Expected behaviour
  - The selected OO.o file opens in the relevant OO.o application

  Actual behaviour
  - An error dialogue with the message: General input/output error while accessing /home/user/.gvfs/WebDAV on host/file.ods (see attached screenshot)
