I think we are talking about the same thing -- after you kill it
with C-c you would want to work it around.  The question is how?

You would want to re-run with timeout value of 0 second (or
WEBDAV disabled, if we can have such an option); if it works
then you would want the tool to remember that you want to use
that particular settings but probably only when talking to that
remote.
