I am trying to add an event from my local database to the Davical server (in fact, this should apply to any CalDav server, as long as it is compliant with the CalDav protocol)...
From what I could read here, I can send a PUT request to add events contained in a VCALENDAR collection... So here is what I try to do:
try {
// Create the HttpWebRequest object
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://my_caldav_srv/davical.php/user/mycalendar");
// Add the network credentials to the request
Request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(usr, pwd);
// Specify the method
Request.Method = "PUT";
// some headers - I MAY BE MISSING THINGS HERE???
Request.Headers.Add("Overwrite", "T");
// set the body of the request...
Request.ContentLength = bodyStr.Length;
Stream reqStream = Request.GetRequestStream();
// Write the string to the destination as a text file.
reqStream.Write( Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(body), 0, body.Length);
// Set the content type header.
Request.ContentType = contentType.Trim();
// Send the method request and get the response from the server.
Response = (HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();
}
catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("Caught error: " + e.Message, e);
}
The body I send is actually an emtpy calendar:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
PRODID:-//davical.org//NONSGML AWL Calendar//EN
X-WR-CALNAME:My Calendar
END:VCALENDAR
For a reason I cannot understand, the call with "PUT" returns an error (405) Method Not Allowed. The PUSH returns (500) Internal Server Error, but looking at the debug details, the reason is the same as for the PUT case...
In debugging on the server side, I found out that the reason is that in caldav-PUT-vcalendar.php, the following clause is violated:
$c->readonly_webdav_collections
Well, first, let me mention that with the SAME credentials entered in Lightning, I am able to add/remove events and, on the admin interface, I actually made sure to grant ALL rights to the user. So I'd be surprised it is due to that...
Any help would be most appreciated ! Kind regards, Nik
