Mounted WebDav shares in Nautilus timeouts very soon

[Simplehuman]

Mounted WebDav shares in Nautilus timeouts very soon after 30-60 seconds of browsing it . Every time the time of timeout is different.

Workaround is to kill gvfsd-dav process every time it "hangs". But it is very annoying.

There was no problem in Ubuntu 13.04.

Does anyone kows if there are any workarounds,
maybe like using a different WebDav client and not using nautilus+gvfsd-dav ?
This bug is very annoying especially since it is a big regression from ubuntu 12 series where it all worked flowessly for me ...

The problem seems to be with gvfs-dav (a component of Nautilus = Ubuntu's file manager), so until it is fixed, if ever, you can use a different file manager that does not rely on gvfs, like Krusader, in which dav shares work fine. See: http://www.krusader.org/
