Nautilus can't connect to a WebDAV shared folder

Problem

In Fedora 36, if you try to connect to a WebDAV folder from Nautilus - the file manager (e.g. by going into Other Locations and then see shared folders on your local network), you’ll see an error message Remote peer disconnected and a crash notification will appear. You’ll not be able to connect, and so you can’t browse e.g. ~/Public folders of other users on your local network.

Cause

See bug reports for details.
