Why is g_file_copy return Operation not supported when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set

The following code works fine as a normal user session:

#include <gio/gio.h>
int main()
{
        const gchar *uri = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5758770/";
        GFile *in;
        GFile *out;
        GError *error = NULL;
        gboolean ret;
        g_type_init();
        in = g_file_new_for_uri(uri);
        out = g_file_new_for_path("/tmp/a");
        ret = g_file_copy(in, out, G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE,
                          NULL, NULL, NULL, &error);
        if (!ret)
                g_message("%s", error->message);
        return 0;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

(taken from glib-network-connection-example )

But when "su -" is for another user and executes the same binary, I get the following error:

**** Message: Operation not supported **

I have narrowed down the problem to the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable which is not set.

I would like to know why the above solution requires dbus as it is not mentioned in the glib / gio documentation and is there a file upload solution that does not require dbus, or alternatively I can set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to something that will make it work no matter how I switch to another user session.
