wireshark dump

What was the last KDE version it worked in?

Does comment #2, you made in bug #181568 help in this case?

There's also bug 172803 which can be related.

the last working release was 4.2.0, i was upgrading along the kde for fedora way on a nearly daily base.

The comment from the other bug did not help, i checked this first. The third bug is a thing which can fixed in egroupware, i will contact the reporter tomorrow.

I found a KDE 4.2 rc 1 installation over here, wher I created a dump. It is working with this release. As I can see, there seems to be some issue with the authorization.

Working wireshark dump

Dump created KDE 4.2 rc1, everything is working as expected

Just reproduced it on a Suse 11.0 System with factory KDE 4.2.1.

Reassigning by request of the original submitter, who pointed out that the following kio_http changes might be the source of the regression:
> * Various authentication code improvements. See SVN commits 929627 and 
914548.

If it would help, I can provide a test account. Please contact by email.

I'm the developer of EGroupware's GroupDAV and WebDAV parts.

Only thing I notice, looking at Christoph's Wireshark traces, is GroupDAV connector / kio_http seems not to react to the Basic Auth requests from EGroupware:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\r\n
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="eGroupWare CalDAV/CardDAV/GroupDAV server"\r\n
X-WebDAV-Status: 401 Unauthorized\r\n

As further request contain NO Authorization: header. While in the working trace the header is sent:

Authorization: Basic a2F1bG5jaDp5555xa2VpbnM=\r\n

I can see no fault in EGroupware's behavior to reject the requests, as we can NOT allow access without valid credentials.

I'm happy to help debugging the issue.

It doesn't work for me either (KDE 4.2.2).

When I delete the configuration files  (kresource* in .kde/share/config) and recreate it, it will (mostly) work for a day or two. Suddenly it breaks again, leaving me with "file doesn't exist" on starting kontact four times (calendar, contacts, two task files each repeat an error). Wireshark tells me the server responds with 401-Unauthorized to the client requests.

I have the same error on two different machines. Deleting the config files does only work for one machine (both with Ubuntu 9.04).

Sebastian

The same for me, since KDE 4.x the GroupDAV stuff in KDEPIM is broken. KDE 3.x was fine running with eGroupware. Now, with a fresh set of config files (kresources_groupwarerc) it seems to work, but after some time everything fails. If that happens, the button "Ordnerliste aktualisieren" does not work any more, the list becomes empty.

patch by Matthew Dawson:
http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1236/diff

What is to be done, tio get this bug confirmed? Maybe it gets more attention afterwards?

Christoph,
I can prepare a test kdelibs build for you with the aforementioned patch for testing purposes.  What version of fedora are you using?

Fedora 11, 64 bit
Tanks a lot

kdelibs-4.3.1-4: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1665740

(with the rest of kde-4.3.1 in fedora's updates-testing repos)

may bee it is posible to build a deb for debian/SID?

Thank you, 
I just started to use the build, looks good, I will give more feedback later.

Hello, the fixed Fedora build is working fine, can we keep it in the next Fedora updates?

We'll consider it, in the meantime, now that we have a confirmation that the patch fixes this issue, devs can eyeball it for regression/side-effect potential.

The reviewboard patch is now committed for both KDE SVN and the KDE 4.3 Branch.  The issue is no longer present (akonadi is now able to talk to egroupware without requiring a webbrowser open), so could someone please close this bug?  Thank you!

ok, closing.  Thanks everyone.
