438642 - Zimbra CalDav calendar cannot get items using latest nightly.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Provider: CalDAV, defect)

Attachment: Patch that fixes the issue when connected to a zimbra caldav server

Using Zimbra's latest caldav client, I cannot get any items from the server.  It appears that when the Etags fetch is done, Zimbra returns a 200 (OK) and not a 207 (Multi-status).  We're expecting a multi-status.

I have a patch that makes this work, and I'll attach it.  The build I'm using with the issue is Lightning (2008060820) in Thunderbird version 2.0.0.14 (20080421).  

I'm not entirely sure what the ramifications of this patch might be, but it seems to me to be pretty small.

I don't doubt that this patch lets Zimbra keep trucking along, but ...
* the RFC says that the response here MUST be a 207
* this has been reported to Zimbra; http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=28048

So ... does have some kind of policy regarding just-make-it-work-for-now-and-we'ĺl-roll-it-back-when-the-other-end-is-fixed patches? I'd hate to leave this in indefinitely.

Clint, does this work for you now with Zimbra 5.0.7 or later?
