[OGo-Users] Re: GroupDav GAL

[Robert Bolduc]

It looks like the bug is not in the plugin but in Zidestore;

I created a simple vcard test.vcard:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:A;B;C;;
FN: A B
END:VCARD


then tried to upload it using cadaver:

dav:/zidestore/dav/rbolduc/Contacts/> put test2.vcf
Uploading test2.vcf to `/zidestore/dav/rbolduc/Contacts/test2.vcf':
Progress: [=============================>] 100.0% of 209 bytes failed:
400 Bad Request

in the log I see:

content-type in PUT, but looks like vCard ...
