[iOS] WebDav timeouts

It seems that the WebDav authentication in Zotero ios/ipados times out after a certain interval, and then sync fails.

have to do a 'verify server' before it starts working again

you can see the GET fails twice at 09:43:13 and :14 with 401 Unauthorized

then i do a verify server @09:43:29, and a successful GET at 09:43:45

Consider:
if Zotero gets a 401, it should re-authenticate.
a 403 Forbidden means the credentials are invalid

But that's not a successful GET at 09:43:45 — that's a GET without credentials resulting in a 401, despite the successful Verify Server requests 16 seconds earlier. That certainly doesn't seem right.

What happened after that?

sorry, i cut off a line.

as you can see the first 3 lines in the original post don't have 'rbp' as the username, so they are unauthorized, but the 'verify server' uses auth (09:43:29). then there's another unauthorized (09:43:45) and one that works (also 09:43:45)
