Summary0000074: CalDAV URL issues with scheduling
Description

iTIP messages to attendees for a new event were not working from Thunderbird/Lightning and Apple iCal, but were working correctly from the WebUI.

Digging around through the Apache logs produced the following 404 errors:

x.x.x.x - - [21/Jul/2009:22:29:24 -0700] "PROPFIND /SOGo/dav/test/Calendarpersonal/ HTTP/1.1" 404 208
x.x.x.x - - [21/Jul/2009:22:30:02 -0700] "PROPFIND /SOGo/dav/test/Calendarpersonal/ HTTP/1.1" 404 208

Performed an ssldump on traffic to be sure something was wrong. Found PROPFIND requests for schedule-inbox-URL and schedule-outbox-URL returning incorrect URLs with missing forward slashes.

Located the associated code in SoObjects/Appointments/SOGoUserFolder+Appointments.m and applied changes found in attached patch.

Tested after recompiling and found no issues with attendees.

Additional Information

I am by no means an objective-c programmer. My guess is this is just a workaround, and the actual issue is that the trailing forward slash is being stripped somehow from the davURL before adding the "personal/" string to the end. Perhaps this is something specific to my platform?

TagsNo tags attached.

I could not reproduce the problem. Can you try again with the latest nigthly RPMS or the version from monotone?

Problem persists with latest build from monotone. I've also gone and built the SOGo packages on an OpenSUSE 11.1 system from monotone with the same issues. Could this possibly be a quirk in SOPE? It's the only thing constant between the builds.

Mmmm I don't know yet. Can you give me the output of "defaults read sogod", by taking care of removing sensitive data (this bugreport is public). It would probably help me tests things with an environment similar to yours.

Thanks

"defaults read sogod" output is attached. Database backend is running MySQL 5.0.45. Web frontend is running Apache 2.2.10. LDAP server is OpenLDAP 2.3.37. I should also note that I'm building RPM packages for my platform using modified spec files that were included with the sources for both SOPE and SOGo. There is also a patch I had to apply to the SOPE sources to get them to cleanly compile on OpenSUSE. I can post those as well if you're interested.

Would you be interested in contributing your OpenSuSE RPMS?

Absolutely. You can find them at:

http://www.royal.wednet.edu/~ayearout/sogo-rpms/

There are two binary builds: i586 RPMS for OpenSUSE 11.1 and x86_64 RPMS for OpenSUSE 10.3. The i586 RPMS were built against ffcall, which I've included the RPM for as well. The 10.3 RPMS were built with the distribution libffi libraries.

Two quirks with these RPM packages: the header files for SOPE's NGObjWeb are incorrectly installed to /usr/Library/Headers instead of /usr/GNUStep/System/Library/Headers. I've been manually adding a symbolic link for now until I get around to correcting the spec file. Also, the Apache configuration file for SOGo gets installed to /etc/httpd/conf.d instead of the distribution specific /etc/apache2/conf.d

Very nice!

Do you plan to replace your Horde installation with SOGo?

That is the current plan, yes. Horde has been a good solution for the past couple of years, but as we've seen more and more use of calendering here, it simply has not held up in that respect. We'll be deploying Thunderbird en masse to desktops and using SOGo as our solution for CalDAV and a web front end. Couldn't be happier with the results so far.

After some work, I've managed to put together source RPM packages for openSUSE.

You can find them at:

http://www.royal.wednet.edu/~ayearout/sogo-rpms/opensuse-src/

These should compile and install properly on all openSUSE distributions, 10.3 and above. I haven't tested building them on i586 hardware yet, but it shouldn't have a problem.

I've rebuilt my environment with these new RPMs and I'm still having the same problem.

Downgrading to minor until 1.0.4 is tested or the nightly version.

After taking some time to pin this problem down, I've discovered that it's related to recent unstable builds of GNUstep. Specifically, this bug fix:

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25404

I've reverted to using stable releases of GNUstep to fix this problem. Eventually this will be a problem once the unstable releases go mainstream. Stripping the trailing slash is correct according to the Apple docs:

Under Debian (testing), the problem does not occur with:

libgnustep-base1.19 1.19.0-2

but does occur with:

libgnustep-base1.19 1.19.3-1

You can

gcc -o test test.m -lobjc -I/usr/include/GNUstep/ -fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString -lgnustep-base
