This means that an application using GObject (either a C program, or a
program written using GObject instrospection bindings) used the GIO
library to connect to a Web server using the GVFS filesystem wrappers at
some point.

The address at the end of the command are, IIRC, D-Bus addresses.

Depending on the configuration of your system, you'll be able to find
the directory in ~/.gvfs or in /run/user/${UID}/gvfs, which is where the
GVFS modules house their virtual filesystem so as to allow common UNIX
utilities (e.g., cp, cat, mv, ls, rm, and so forth) to work with those
filesystems, even though they're not filesystems which are implemented
by the operating system or managed by e.g., mount/umount.
