I created the test with sequential operations because this is how it
works with channel-webdav. Just to be sure, I created a test with with
concurrent write and we get G_IO_ERROR_PENDING as error. So, regarding
concurrent write I believe we are safe.

I've applied your suggestions plus the concurrent test, sending it now.

Many thanks for the explanation and review,
