Description Bill Chatfield 2015-07-18 14:49:46 UTC

Description of problem: Evolution can't retrieve Yahoo! calendar and tasks because something is wrong with the way it determines the address.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.16.3


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Yahoo! mail account. I use bill_chatfield
2. Select the option to sync calendar and tasks also.
3.

Actual results: This is the exact error message:

Unexpected HTTP status code 8 returned (Message Corrupt) for URI: https://bill_chatfield%40yahoo.com@caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/bill_chatfield%40yahoo.com/Calendar/Bill_Chatfield/


Expected results: Evolution would be able to read my Yahoo! calendar
and tasks without throwing an error.

The Evolution determines the address based on the redirections the Yahoo! server provides. I know it used to work, but since some (probably) server change it stopped working and the server begun to return "Message Corrupt" error.

I tried to investigate it in the past, also checking the correctness of the used addresses, but I didn't find any clear fault on the evolution(-data-server) side. If you think the address is wrong, are you aware of the correct address?

I am not able to connect to Yahoo! calendar using these [1] instructions in thunderbird too. It even doesn't tell me what's going wrong, so hard to tell.
