[sync] Authentication or session problems

[Karsten Fourmont]

Hi,

invoking rpc.php from within the browser produces a totally different 
behavior than from a SyncML client:

When the content-Type is "application/vnd.syncml+(wb)xml" as used by a 
SyncML client, the SyncML server is created. Otherwise (from the 
browser) it's the Horde SOAP server. Both are completely different things.

When debugging SyncML, /tmp/sync/syncml_log.txt is the way to go. See
http://wiki.horde.org/SyncHowTo

Cheers,
  Karsten
