    Question Mounting davfs giving ssl handshake failed error

    I'm trying to connect to a webdav server with very poor luck. My preference would be to mount it to my file system, but simply connecting with Cadaver would be fine too.

    I've tried:
    Code:
    mparks@mparks:~$ sudo mount -t davfs https://<host>:<port>/<path> /media/webdrives/<mount-dir>
    [sudo] password for mparks: 
    Please enter the username to authenticate with server
    https://<host>:<port>/<path> or hit enter for none.
      Username: <username>
    Please enter the password to authenticate user handbook with server
    https://<host>:<port>/<path> or hit enter for none.
      Password: <password>
    /sbin/mount.davfs: Mounting failed.
    SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated

    In some config file (and now I can't seem to find it again) (EDIT: in /etc/fstab) I added a line with the webdav server url, the local path to where I want to mount it, and some other little configs. It allowed me to simply type: "sudo mount /media/webdrives/<mount-dir>" instead of typing in the whole URL every time. I still see the same results as above.

    I tried a suggestion to add 'dav_group users' to my /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf file. Same error.

    I've tried the suggestion at the end of this thread. I type:
    'sudo ./fusedav https://<host>:<port>/<path> /media/webdrives/<mount-dir>' and it just hangs. Nothing seems to happen at all.

    I've tried using Cadaver.
    Code:
    mparks@mparks:~$ cadaver https://<host>:<port>/<path>
    Could not open collection:
    SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated
    dav:/<path>/? exit
    mparks@mparks:~$
    Most searches for this error show results related to svn. This, as far as I know, has utterly nothing to do with subversion. I'm simply trying to access a webdav server either by client or by file-system mount.

    Any tips or help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Are there any logs that the above commands produce? I'm not aware of any, but if so, that might prove useful.

    Also, if there's any further information I can/should add, I'd be happy to. Please just let me know what you need.

    Thanks again!

    Oh my.

    I didn't realize that using https was an assumption on my part. I didn't need the TLS - just used http and everything went swimmingly.

    I was never here. You never saw me.
