Description Petr Tomasek 2009-08-11 12:09:39 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
It uses the PUT (and DELETE?) methods instead, i.e. all files are downloaded first and consequently uploaded again to the same server. I tried both copying from one panel to another as well as DnD, both uses PUT.

Tested with stable gcmd 1.2.8.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Backend underlying methods for accessing WebDav resources are implemented in GnomeVFS, and there is no API for controlling it. I'm afraid there is nothing to be done about it - except for switching to gio/gvfs, of course. I'm not closing the bug, marking as gcmd-2.0 goal.
Comment 2 Petr Tomasek 2009-08-19 14:56:03 UTC 
I'm not sure if I understand well, what You say. If You _rename_ a file in GCMD using gnomeVFS/webdav it does use the MOVE method, so there must be a way to do it for moving files between panels as well. Or am I totally wrong?
Comment 3 Petr Tomasek 2009-08-31 12:12:41 UTC 
Gnome-vfs has gnome_vfs_move() which should be used instead of gnome_vfs_xfer* if source and target are on te same filesystem, which can be tested by the function gnome_vfs_check_same_fs()...

So this could definitely be done with gnome-vfs and can be done before the move to the gio/gvfs...
Comment 4 epiotr 2009-09-02 13:14:56 UTC 
There is a small app in gnome-vfs package (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-vfs/2.24/gnome-vfs-2.24.1.tar.bz2): gnomevfs-mv

The utility basically calls gnome_vfs_move() only and is perfect for testing if GnomeVFS supports MOVE for WebDAV.

Please buils the package and verify if it is working as needed. The usage is:

     programs/gnomevfs-mv from_uri to_uri
Comment 5 Tobias Mueller 2010-04-11 20:47:19 UTC 
Hm. Can I assume that this bug is OBSOLETE with the move to GIO?
Comment 6 Petr Tomasek 2010-04-12 16:33:05 UTC 
Hm, It depends on the implementation. (gnome-vfs also allowed for using MOVE and nautilus did it...)

Is the gio already implemented in some branch?

(Sorry I cannot help more now, I'm quite busy for a half year o so..)
Comment 7 Tobias Mueller 2010-05-30 08:12:27 UTC 
epiotr, I'm closing this as OBSOLETE since I assume gvfs to be obsolete.
