Description Martin Tlustos 2010-09-22 13:13:57 UTC

OS:                Linux

I tried to connect to a CalDAV resource on a secured connection within our company from within korganizer. I had full instructions on how to do it with thunderbird, and setting up evolution worked well. But somehow when running the wizard, it never shows any collections, whatever I do.
The supposed path is: https://www.mycompany.org/CalDAV/resource name, with my username and my password. Username and password seem to work, as at the first time it asks for my password and there are no error messages. But no collection show up. I tried several possibilities (as including my username in the address as supposed by a colleague), but no help.

Reproducible: Always

Hi Martin,

What is the CalDav server that you are trying to connect to (software + version)? From what you are describing it looks like the resource cannot find valid tags that describe a user's calendar.

Cheers,
Grégory

The server is a Communigate Pro server. I don't know the version, but I know that it supports CalDav (I talked to the support people and they gave me exact instructions on how to access a calendar via caldav. Thos instructions work well with evolution and the thunderbird calendar plugin, but not with korganizer.
The commmunigate pro server offers quite a bit of different access methods, like mapi, ical, caldav, vcf, imap and some others...

Thanks for the info. Looks like Communigate offers a free version of their software for personal use. I'll give it a shot and update this bug with the results.

Cheers,

SVN commit 1185573 by goestreicher:

- Relax a little the server response parsing and don't be too strict
regarding supported-calendar-component-set support.
- Compensate for missing supported-calendar-component-set tag in
responses by assigning the text/calendar MIME-Type only.

SVN commit 1185582 by goestreicher:

Stick more strictly to the RFC and allow any (calendar-compatible)
MIME-Type for collection that do not have the
supported-calendar-component-set property.

Thanks to Martin Tlustos for the initial bug report.

Hi Martin,

This issue has been fixed with the two commits mentionned in this bug, tested with the free of charge version they provide.

Would you mind confirming that it's working for you too if that's the case?

Cheers,
Grégory

Greg,
wow, that was a quick one! Thank you very much! Unfortunately I'm one of those noobs that only use pre-packaged software, so I'll have to wait until it's in the Kubuntu-experimental repos...
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,

No problems, I let this bug open for now. I think you will have upgraded package with the next beta of KDE PIM. If you can update this bug at this time it would be excellent.

Cheers,
Grégory
