title: Does anybody know what is gvfsd-http?
body: <p>gvfsd-http exists in Fedora, Ubuntu, and several other distros. Does anybody know what this process is used for? There is no information on the net, other than &quot;gnome virtual file system&quot;.</p>
  <p>What is it used for?</p>
  <p>If it is not mandatory, how to get rid of it?</p>
  <p>Sometimes I see connections like this:</p>
  <pre><code>tcp        1      0 192.168.1.3:45229       50.17.249.143:80        CLOSE_WAIT  5463/gvfsd-http     
  </code></pre>
  <p>As you see the process is gvfsd-http. The IP address belongs to: cz-usa.com, a gun company. I had nothing to do with this website. Any ideas what is this process doing?</p>
