WebDAV on Windows 7 "the folder you entered does not appear to be valid":
Trying to "Add Network Location" in Windows 7 64-bit in order to connect to my WebDAV server on a local Ubuntu Natty 11.04 32-bit server (running Apache / mod_dav).
I get an error "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another".
So far as I can tell I'm doing everything correctly. I can open the location in Firefox just fine.
The server configuration is almost identical to another WebDAV server I've setup in the past, AND my Windows 7 machine can connect to that other webdav server just fine.
The relevant part of my apache config:
I've run the htdigest program to generate the digest file:
It works fine to connect to it via Firefox or using the "WebDav Navigator" free app for iPhone, or using the Pages app for iPhone.
But, when I try to connect to the server in Windows 7 by creating a "Network Location" in My Computer and specifying the URL:
https://remote.mydomain.com/webdav
I get the error "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another"
My SSL certificate is correctly installed and issued by GoDaddy.
Not sure what to try next here... any ideas?
