[cosmo-dev] sunbird write access via CalDAV, sometimes working :-)

[Bruno Browning]

I assume you are using Sunbird 0.7. This should be fixed in the upcoming
Sunbird 0.8; see

Hi,

I'm using cosmo server (osaf-server-bundle-0.12.0 on debian).
On OSX I use iCal 3.0.2 via CalDAV to work with the cosmo server.
On Linux I tried Evolution, but because of the broken CalDAV-support I
switched to Sunbird.
Sunbird via WebCal gives ready-only support, so I use CalDAV.
When I create or modify an event with iCal I can afterwards edit the
event
with Sunbird.
If I create or modify an event via the chandler web-interface I can
still
edit the event with iCal, but editing the event with Sunbird is not
possible
anymore.
I don't get an error message with Sunbird, a change will just not be
made.
I downloaded the whole calendar as ics-file and tried to track the
changes
that are made to an event when I
1. create/edit the event via the chandler web interface
2. edit the event with iCal and then
3. edit the event with Sunbird.

I suspect Sunbird not being able to process/edit the DURATION keyword
correctly.
Even though it's display correctly.
Is there a particular reason why the DTEND is not used?
Can this be added so that both DURATION (if necessary) and DTEND
properties
are included?
The other way to get full write-support from Sunbird would be to get
the
Sunbird people to support the DURATION keyword.
If this really is the issue here.

Martin

P.S.: though about writing to a different list, but I somehow thought
this
was more a dev-thing ...
