Comment 30 for bug 466960

It's 2016. last post from 2014.
I was still affected from this bug, but maybe it's just me.
Whatever, my installed ubuntu version is a few years old, upgraded multiple times, and some legacy code might be lurking in the system.

my /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf file:

use_proxy 0 # system wide config file only
use_locks 0
if_match_bug 1

my mount command
sudo mount.davfs -o uid=knb,file_mode=775,dir_mode=775 https://webdav.somesite.com/mydir /media/somesite
