[CalendarServer-users] CardDAV Support AddressBook OSX 10.6.4

[Greg Day]

  I ran into this bug when running trunk, and I found an interesting "fix"

I was testing and developing on 10.6, and since ":" cannot be escaped on 
HFS+, it fails.  But when I moved my calendarserver install to my Linux 
server, where ":" is no problem, it began working immediately.

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).
