Description Alexander Larsson 2008-01-15 11:43:35 UTC 
When a http share has not been used for a while we should unmount it to avoid wasting resources.

Ideally we should implement this is in a generic way (especially the detecting of when the backend is used) so that other automatically mounted backends can use this if they want.

It also causes client slowdown, see the Bug 775600.

Can confirm unmounting http share manually fixed my issue.
Comment 4 Cédric Bellegarde 2016-12-05 21:39:40 UTC 
Another thing.

"has not been used for a while" may not fix my issue (775600)

Maybe the main issue is "Why Gio.VolumeMonitor.get() is slow when many http share are mounted?"

>Can confirm unmounting http share manually fixed my issue.

But every client trying to get again this uri through Gio get a cache error message...

So I just bypass Gio for http request until this bug is fixed:

Comment 6 Ondrej Holy 2016-12-09 14:04:18 UTC 
I have a working prototype for autounmounting already, however, I need to finish handling of some corner cases...

Why? Do you mount too many shares in a short time?

Hmm, let's reopen Bug 775600 and continue debugging on that place...
