Directories are shown as empty files

[David Erosa]

Binary package hint: fusedav

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
fusedav version: 0.2-2

I'm using a self-made backport os python-webdav as server. For this test it's sharing my home's tmp folder:

~$ davserver -D $PWD/tmp/ -n -v

Conecting to webdav using Nautilus just works fine, but if I mount the webdav resource with:

~$ fusedav http://localhost:8008 /home/derosa/dav

and 'cd' into the directory, there are no directories inside. Instead of a directory, an empty file with the same name is shown.

Real directory:

~/tmp$ ls -dl xsplash/
drwxr-xr-x 2 derosa derosa 4096 2009-10-14 14:19 xsplash/
~/tmp$

mounted directory:

~/dav$ ls -ld xsplash
-rw-r--r-- 1 derosa derosa 0 2009-10-14 14:19 xsplash
~/dav$

Any hint?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It happens to me with nuxeo server.
This problem does not affect to webdav kernel module so it seems it can be fixed client side.
