Title:
  gvfsd-http leaves a lot of sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs-backends

  netstat -tp reveals lots of the old connections made by gvfsd-http,
  and some of them are several days old. this seams like a resource
  leak. not very harmful for typical user, but the intense use of gvfsd
  could even block the user from making any new internet connections
  until the daemon is restarted.

  steps to reproduce:

  1. use drag&drop to copy a picture from a web browser to the gnome desktop (this uses gvfs internally).
  interestingly, copying a content from clickable link did not leave a stale socket (i don't know if this is a rule. "open image in a new tab" and dragging from there was the most reliable way to reproduce the bug)

  2. invoke netstat -tp in the console
  the socket opened by gvfsd-http wont go away

  workaround:
  kill the daemon (using killall gvfsd-http) or log out
