Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution-data-server
Steps to reproduce: 1. Set up a WebDAV contacts store with a username with an @ in it (e.g. u...@domain.com). I'm using Zimbra. 2. In Evolution, create a new address book of type WebDAV and click OK: Example URL: https://hostdomain.com/dav/someonesn...@clientdomain.com/Contacts Example Username: myn...@clientdomain.com Expected result: - contact super-awesomeness - Evolution looks up hostdomain.com, asks for a password, authenticates with usern...@clientdomain.com and the password, and requests the resource at dav/someonesn...@clientdomain.com/Contacts Actual result: - Evolution pops up a dialogue with: Unable to perform search. This query did not complete successfully. - evolution-data-server spits out: (process:18068): libebookbackendgoogle-WARNING **: PROPFIND on webdav failed with http status 2 - Wireshark reveals that e-d-s tried to perform DNS lookups for clientdom...@hostdomain.com. Unsurprisingly, it failed. It looks like maybe e-d-s is wedging the username into the front of the URL in the format https://usern...@domain.com without escaping the @, resulting in this case in myn...@clientdomain.com@hostdomain.com, and then mis-parsing the username as myname and the domain as clientdom...@hostdomain.com. If not, I can't imagine what sort of crack is going on here. Worth noting that the same credentials work fine for the other DAV stores (calendaring, tasks). ** Affects: evolution-data-server Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: evolution-data-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Mishandling of @ (at sign) in WebDAV contacts username (wrong DNS query) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
