Description Helge Hess 2005-01-11 04:31:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

As discussed on KDE-PIM 2005/1 with Reinhold and Cornelius, 
a GroupDAV server (nor a client) is not required to store every possible iCalendar field. This implies that the server needs a way to tell the client about unsupported fields.

We agreed that an HTTP status plus a text/plain error message is to be returned by the server.
Kontact must properly catch the status code and show the error message to the user.

For protocol specifics, watch:

This would be useful for displaying errors (4xx and 5xx) in any case, not just unsupported attributes.

Comment 2 Helge Hess 2005-08-16 12:11:13 UTC

It would also be nice if "safe" text/html could be supported since most WebDAV servers return errors as HTML (this includes Apache).

Eg in bug 106303:
---snip---
HTTP/1.0 412 Precondition Failed 
content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" 
content-length: 187 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 
<body><h3>An error occurred during object publishing</h3><p>Precondition Failed</p></body> 
</html> 
---snap---

CalDAV also specifies some XML errors, those should probably be supported with native panels.

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.

Dear reporter, the resources handling got redone for KF5 and KF6 based PIM applications.

If you still encounter the issues you had in the past, please report them to the current maintained and updated PIM applications you use

Thanks a lot!
