Thanks for googling for me, unsurprisingly I had already done that and read a great deal including the link you posted. Oddly the bug report link within the page you linked gives me this:
Code:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/571970
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to bugs.launchpad.net.
The OCSP server experienced an internal error.
(Error code: sec_error_ocsp_server_error)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
Anyway, none of the information I found actually detailed what gvfsd-http does. But that wasn't the point of this thread - I was just asking how to block it.
