I'm trying out the CalDAVClientLibrary, I'm able to connect to a CalendarServer, but I can't figure out how to discover the different calendar's accessible to me. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks, -John

I am just starting the server using the "run" and while the log does not specifically indicate carddav services, when the carddav clients access the server they is a lot of action. It seems to work just fine. However I can't get the desktop addressbook client to work.

Current state of CardDAV
by Daniel Hojka 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hi there, I just went through the installation process of Calendar Server r600something on FreeBSD 8.1-amd64, which was, let's say, pretty interesting (Roy Hoopers HowTo is more or less obsolete now, maybe I should post my installation notes somewhere). I guess most of problems I ran into, were related to the fact, that I have almost no knowledge of python, but there's one thing that really puzzles me: The basic idea of playing with the "Calendar and Contacts Server" was to unify and centralize my address books and, as a nice add on, doing the same with calendars. But now I only have something that acts like a working installation of a CalDAV Server, but no idea what to do to make it serve contact information via CardDAV. As I'm still testing, I run the server through the supplied run script that comes with a CalendarServer svn checkout. The only ports that are bound to are tcp 8008 and tcp 8443, which AFAIK default to the calendar server component (plain/ssl). After doing some "investigation" I found out, the two components are somehow in the middle of being merged and I also found some sources mentioning something about the in /CalendarServer/branches/users/glyph/contacts-server-merge, but the svn comments are on the one hand not really encouraging, and on the other hand, I have little to no idea how to integrate these with the current trunk of Calendar Server. So - could anybody give me a hint where to find the CardDAV component itself (if still available), or tell me what I was doing wrong checking out trunk of Calendar Server to get a decent implemention of an address book server.

CardDAV Support AddressBook OSX 10.6.4
by Dustin Jackson 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

I am wondering if there is anything special that needs to be changed to get OSX AddressBook desktop client to properly use the CardDAV server. I did have to edit the .plist file on my computer because Addressbook desktop client kept screwing up the path. IPhone with OS 4 (deployed the config through iphone configuration utility) is working perfectly and AddressBook desktop client will sync with the data input by the iphone. Anything added or modified by Addressbook desktop client doesn't post to the server though (i checked in the data folder). Below are two interesting lines that come off the server log when trying to add or modify PUT /addressbooks/__uids__/djackson/addressbook/6AE69D7F-CB3B-414A-9EE7-2AF6B6A69F60-ABSPlugin.vcf HTTP/1.1 2010-08-02 10:49:47-0400 [-] [caldav-0] [-] [twistedcaldav.method.put_addressbook_common#error] u"error: illegal escape sequence: '\\:'" 1) Why is it adding the "ABSPlugin" into the vcf file 2) The illegal escape is only being posted when Addressbook desktop client tries to add or modify. During a sync or startup it doesn't show that error.

Restarting the server results in invalid UUIDs?
by Stewart Adam 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I've just encountered a new problem using Calendar Server 2.4 on Fedora 13 - adding CalDAV calendar(s) works from iCal and an iPhone, but after restarting the server things start to break down: ********** The server responded with an error. The calendar http://f13.box:8008/principals/__uids__/d817aaec-7d24-5b38-bc2f-6369da72cdd… was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct. ********** (f13.box is an alias I have for my F13 virtual machine in /etc/hosts) Removing the calendar account and re-adding it (on either the iPhone or iCal) with the exact same details will make it work again until the server restarts. Is this a bug, or a misconfiguration on my part? Thanks in advance! Regards, Stewart
