Unable to open remote locations

If I take the WebDAV URL from https://ajaxbrowser.com/ (replace https with davs with URI) and try to change path to that, it fails with:

If I mount it in Nautilus first, it works.

Yeah, this is an issue with system FTP bookmarks too.

Good to know. I think I know where the issue is.

I am facing the same issue still with system FTP bookmarks as well as smb bookmarks. In both cases, I am able to mount and open the locations with system file managers (e.g. Thunar) but when I click on the same location in the sunflower bookmark dropdown menu:

1. nothing happens for the smb bookmark.
2. For the ftp bookmark, I get an error message popup saying that location "tp://[whatever]" cannot be found. The bookmark is correctly set as "ftp://[whatever]" but based on the error message, sunflower sees the location with the first letter "f" missing.

If I enter the ftp or smb location manually into the text field in the dropdown, nothing happens, the location isn't opened.

Thank you for reporting this @asqwerth. I'll have a look and fix what needs fixing. Whole path code needs to be redone I feel.
It's just too convoluted and issues of this kind keep popping up.
