The bug is old and Ubuntu changed quite a lot since, there has also been
no activity here nor similar reports. Closing since we believe the issue
as described is deprecated but feel free to file a new report if you
still have problems in recent Ubuntu versions.

Title:
  can't copy directory from dav

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When connecting to a DAV share, trying to copy a directory to the local 
filesystem will result in a GET request issued to the server, using the URI of 
the directory.
  In most cases such request will return a list of the files in the directory, 
in html format.

  Then nautilus will just store this HTML file and name it like the
  requested directory.

  This is totally wrong!
  Nautilus should use a response to a PROPFIND request to determine the content 
of the directory, and then recoursively download the files using GET, and 
perform other PROPFIND requests over the nested directories.

  I also point out that the logs show a bunch of redundant PROPFIND
  requests.
