webdav

I am trying to connect to this address https://staff-files.com.auckland.ac.nz/hcwebdav/ for work, which works fine through firefox after it prompts for User/password.

I want to access this through nautilus but keep getting: "HTTP ERROR: Cannot resolve proxy hostname () Please select another viewer and try again."

I have tried using http, https, dav, davs in the go=>location menu, and the same in connect to server method in nautilus as well, which returns the same error.

University IT haven't been able to help: can someone here?

Thanks, Josh
