That doesn't help either.

I've analyzed further the backtrace you have send the previous
message. It's still a mystery for me.

Until here everything is as expected. You are asked now for the
password. The difference to my use cases is that it is written in
Spanish, but this shouldn't matter. I don't know what "HTTP Commander"
means in this context, but since it is just a message - so what.

tramp-gvfs-handler-askpassword calls then tramp-read-passwd, which calls
password-read, which calls read-passwd:

And the latter returns with the quit signal. As you have said.

Strange. Instead, it should ask you for the password interactively, and
return the string. What happens, if you eval (still in your 'emacs -Q' session)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(read-passwd "Password for /davs:hstuser@srvname.hstname.es: ")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
