#103 WebDAV Plugin - PUT method "faile" when copying file, even though it succeeded

[JD Mayfield]

I have a WebDAV server. When I copy files from my phone to server using GC WebDAV plugin, once the PUT method completes, GC always says it failed even though the file sucessfully shows up on my server.

Sorry, typo-- should say "failed".

This happens after a long time... like severval minutes, regardless of file-size or type. There are some HEAD requests and PROPFIND requests, which appear to be client looking to confirm file copied to server. The error pops up exactly at the moment the PUT request appears on the server. And the file is in fact copied. It shows in listings on various other clients, and is accessible from other clients. But GC thinks the PUT request failed. I do not have this issue with any of the other clients I have tested. They all copy files via PUT from client to server perfectly. Mainly, Raidrive, Expandrive, linux davfs2. All upload perfectly and near-instantaneously. But GC, is it looking for something else? Since the others do not have this issue, and the timing involved, it seems to me there is an issue with GC's webdav plugin. BTW, I am serious fan of GC! Been using it for over a DECADE. So I would really like to get this figured out. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome piece of software. You are bomb!

Actually, it will copy 1 file. If I copy a directory from client to dav server, folders will be created (not sure if more than one or just the folder being copied) and 1 file will be copied. Same error, after X number of minutes. Long enough it is difficult to test due to wait time. I've tried adjusting things on my end (the dav server), but as far as I can tell that is all to spec. davfs2, Raidrive, and Expandrive all have no errors when copying from client to server and are near-instantaneous.

So... I'm not sure what GC DAV plugin is doing during the long wait, except I see seme HEAD requests and periodicf PROPFINDS happening, even for just one file. Same for a 5 character text file as a 5MB jpeg. Then like 10 minutes later POOF! A single file appears. But only one. The error in GC DAV pops exactly at the same time as the request hits the live logs on the server, both a split second after the request actually goes out.

Only DAV seems to be affected.
