Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I am writing a WebDAV server ('wsgidav') and noticed that I cannot copy
folders with Nautilus.

1. connect to the WebDAV share, open it in Nautilus
2. drag a folder to the Ubuntu Desktop
3. A HTML file is created, where the copied folder should be

Happens on Ubuntu 8.04 and 9

In the WebDAV log I can see, that Nautilus sends a GET request for the 
collection. My server generates an HTML response in this case, so that the 
share can be viewed with a browser. 
I am pretty sure, that this is OK, according to the spec:
http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc4918.html#rfc.section.9.4

I think, Nautilus should rather send recursive GETs for the single files
(or send a COPY or MOVE request, if the target is inside the same WebDAV
share)
