WebDAV upload progress indicator completely inaccurate

[wj32]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, Nautilus 2.24.1 and I'm trying to copy a large file (700MB) to a WebDAV server (specifically, a file management program on my iPod Touch, over WiFi) which is mounted by Nautilus.

What I expected:
The progress meter would fill slowly, as in System Monitor I saw the network upload speed was around 100kB/s, and only 200MB was uploaded.

What happened:
The progress meter filled rapidly, and just froze at 100% until the copy was done (which took ages). The label also reported that "700MB of 700MB" was copied.

Note: the same bug was reported a while ago for Debian, but no one fixed it:

thank you for your bug report, the issue could be a gvfs-dav backend one
