Using Rev Studio 4.0.0 to send a POST to our CalDav calendaring server. When I use curl I get the expected results. But when I use Rev I only get the last part of the data.

Here's an example. I want to see if Martin, Jenny, & Jim are busy. So I query our server with curl & get this correct reply:

So I do the same thing with Rev but only get the last person, Jim:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><C:schedule-response xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" xmlns:D="DAV:"><C:response><C:recipient><D:href>mailto:jim@our-company.com</D:href></C:recipient><C:request-status>2.0;Success</C:request-status><C:calendar-data>BEGIN:VCALENDAR

END:VCALENDAR
</C:calendar-data></C:response></C:schedule-response>

The code is pretty simple.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the httpHeaders to "User-Agent: DAVKit/3.0.6 (661);" & return & "Recipient: mailto:martin@our-company.com" & return & "Recipient: mailto:jenny@our-company.com" & return & "Recipient: mailto:jim@our-company.com" & return & "Content-Type: text/calendar" & return &  "Originator: mailto:ed@our-company.com" 
   put "http://mail.our-company.com/calendars/" into tUrl
   put "BEGIN:VCALENDAR" & return & "PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iCal 3.0//EN" & return & "CALSCALE:GREGORIAN" & return & "VERSION:2.0" & return & "METHOD:REQUEST" & return & "BEGIN:VFREEBUSY" & return & "DTSTART:20100727T070000Z" & return & "DTEND:20100727T160000Z" & return & "END:VFREEBUSY" & return & "END:VCALENDAR" into tData
   post tData to tUrl
   put it into fld 1
   set the httpHeaders to empty
end mouseUp

A tcpdump shows the response from the CalDAV server is continuous, so I'm confused why Rev is only giving me the last part of the request. It's almost like some Rev XML library is grabbing the data & putting it into an array or something. Anyone have any clue what's going on here?

As always, TIA!!!

OK, this appears to be a problem with the headers. tcpdump shows me that only the last "Recipient" header is being sent. Instead of sending multiple "Recipient" headers (which is what I want), I guess Rev is overwriting the Recipient header each time & ultimately sending only the last one. For example, I want:

Recipient: mailto:martin@our-company.com
Recipient: mailto:jenny@our-company.com
Recipient: mailto:jim@our-company.com

but instead I'm only getting:

Recipient: mailto:jim@our-company.com

Can I send multiple same-named headers, or am I misdiagnosing the problem?

TIA!!!

Being the http header genius that I obviously am not, I can simply combine each value into one header like:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the httpHeaders to "User-Agent: DAVKit/3.0.6 (661);" & return & "Recipient: mailto:jim@our-company.com mailto:jenny@our-company.com mailto:martin@our-company.com"  & return & "Content-Type: text/calendar" & return &  "Originator: mailto:ed@our-company.com" 
   put "http://mail.our-company.com/calendars/" into tUrl
   put "BEGIN:VCALENDAR" & return & "PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iCal 3.0//EN" & return & "CALSCALE:GREGORIAN" & return & "VERSION:2.0" & return & "METHOD:REQUEST" & return & "BEGIN:VFREEBUSY" & return & "DTSTART:20100727T070000Z" & return & "DTEND:20100727T160000Z" & return & "END:VFREEBUSY" & return & "END:VCALENDAR" into tData
   post tData to tUrl
   put it into fld 1
   set the httpHeaders to empty
end mouseUp

D'oh!

Good work.

Yes indeed: excellent diagnostics, and a very interesting use of post. I hadn't considered iCal integration before, but now you've inspired me to explore it. I wonder what could be done with Thunderbird's new Lightning calendar add-on. Hmm.....fun opportunities to ponder....

Wow, I sometimes forget how great & friendly the Rev community is. In most other forums I would see posts about what an idiot I am, but not here. The Rev community is a huge asset.

And Richard, based on the terrific apps you've built, I'm eagerly awaiting to see what you come up with.

Thanks, all.
