Bug#555719: nautilus: WebDAV over SSL fails when a client certificate is required

When attempting to use WebDAV over SSL in Nautilus (i.e. davs protocol) on a
server that requires a client certificate, Nautilus doesn't ask for a client
certificate. Instead, it gives this strange error message:

Error: HTTP Error: Connection terminated unexpectedly
Please select another viewer and try again

I'm guessing client certificate authentication is simply not supported, but at
the very least, the error message should say so.
