[sync] Fwd: Re: Syncml client v2.5

[Joeri Pronk]

Here is problably some useful info I got from synthesis about the 
vcalendar format that is used in Horde.

BTW: Karsten,the refactoring of the syncml code is great! this is a big 
leap for syncml with horde.

Hi Joeri,

thanks for the logs.

The problem is that the horde server for some unknown reason now sends 
calendar entries in an invalid vCalendar format (a mixture of vCalendar 
1.0 and iCalendar 2.0). This is clearly a bug in the server, and has 
nothing to do with the version v2.1 vs. v2.5 of our client.

In Detail:

The server sends entries with MIME type "text/x-vcalendar", which would 
indicate vCalendar v1.0.

However, the actual data set is someting like:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//The Horde Project//Horde_iCalendar Library //EN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20050429T100000Z
DTEND:20050429T110000Z
DTSTAMP:20050426T004536Z
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:=
Servers de Poort
TRANSP:OPAQUE
ORGANIZER;CN=Joeri Pronk:MAILTO:joeri at joeri.nu
CATEGORIES:Esprit
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

The second line (VERSION:2.0) identifies this as a iCalendar 2.0 entry. 
However, it is NOT iCalendar 2.0 compatible as the CHARSET attribute is 
not allowed in iCalendar 2.0.

If the VERSION line is fixed to read VERSION:1.0, it will be conformant 
and will work with our client :-)

> My guess is that the the syncml client expects vcard data in a CDATA section?

No - CDATA is something that only exists in XML, not in WBXML (and the 
real data transfer between server and client is WBXML).

Best regards,
