Description Stephen Parry 2013-08-26 12:41:44 UTC 
Mounting webdavs share via GVFS (in my case using gigolo), remote file system should be accessible via gvfs-fuse at /run/user/<username>/gvfs/. Instead just get input/output errors when listing and reading files.
Steps to reproduce:
Use gigolo to connect to remote DAVS file storage using Actions -> Connect, Actions-> Open
Check connectivity via gvfs:

gvfs-ls davs://remoteuser@www.somesite.com/somepath
gvfs-cat davs://remoteuser@www.somesite.com/somepath/somefile.txt

In my case, these work fine. Now try:

ls -l /run/user/localuser/gvfs/dav\:host\=www.somesite.com\,ssl\=true\,user\=remoteuser/somepath
cat /run/user/localuser/gvfs/dav\:host\=www.somesite.com\,ssl\=true\,user\=remoteuser/somepath/somefile.txt

Get these errors:

ls: cannot access /run/user/parrysg/gvfs/dav:host=www.mainscreen.com,ssl=true,user=parry2sg/files/test.txt: Input/output error
:
:
cat: /run/user/parrysg/gvfs/dav:host=www.mainscreen.com,ssl=true,user=parry2sg/files/test.txt: Input/output error

This bug is present 1.16.1 (Ubuntu 13.04) but not 1.12.1 (Ubuntu 12.04)
This bug has been reported downstream.

dav: Don't ignore all XML nodes with no contents

An empty resourcetype node is sent back by the server for normal files.
Don't ignore these nodes otherwise the stat information for normal files
is not set correctly.
Comment 2 Ross Lagerwall 2013-10-11 20:27:28 UTC 
This patch fixes the problem.

dav: Set file type to regular by default

Some servers send empty resourcetype nodes or don't send the node at all
for regular files (the spec says that it defaults to empty).  Set the
file type to regular by default.
Comment 4 Ross Lagerwall 2013-10-11 21:10:29 UTC 
Ignore my earlier comment... the new patch fixes the problem, both for Apache (which sends empty resourcetype nodes for regular files) and lighttpd (which doesn't send any resourcetype nodes for regular files.
