Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus
Happens when I try to drag a folder from the webdav folder to my desktop.
It has worked correctly before. The problem seems sporadic. I've tried closing the mounted WebDAV (https), and reopening in. I closed nautilus and that didn't help either.

ub 9.04
latest nautilus 2.26.2

Yes, Reproducible
I have the webdav site saved as a bookmark in nautilus. I click on the bookmark. I put my user/password. I can see files and browse in folders on the webdav site. But, when I drag a folder to one of the folders in the bookmarked folder list on the left side of nautilus, only an html file (~1KB) with the folder's name appears, not a folder full of files. the text in the file is this:

<code>

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GVFS is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I still see same problem. I am using Lucid (upgrade from Karmic). Have recently done software updates.
the gvfs files I have installed are the following (all version 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1):
gvfs
gvfs-fuse
gvfs-bin
gvfs-backends
libgvfscommon0

The html file generated when trying to drag a "TestFolder Folder with "TestFile.txt" is as follows. Let me know if you need any other logs, etc, and how to create, if so. Thanks for your work.
