Public bug reported:
I have a WebDAV share with (digest) authentication running on a lighttpd
and try to connect to it using nautilus. My lighttpd closes the TCP
connection after some seconds. Using WIreshark I've observed the
following behaviour:
While the authentication dialog is shown gvfsd trys to keep the
connection open and reuse it to send the next HTTP request containing
the provided access credentials. However, if I'm too slow entering my
password and the server closes the connection meanwhile, gvfsd responds
to the FIN packet as it should as soon as I press Connect but it will
never establish a new connection to send the next HTTP request. Instead
gvfsd-dav continues running in background, nautilus shows the wait mouse
cursor and 10 or 15 minutes later it complains about not having received
a DBus response.
Observed in a fully updated Ubuntu Natty, version of gvfs-backends is
1.8.0-0ubuntu2.
