Compatible with zimbra contacts?

[MACscr]

require_once('carddav.php');

$carddav = new carddav_backend('https://domain.com/dav/[email protected]/contacts/');
$carddav->set_auth('[email protected]', 'test1233');
var_dump($carddav->check_connection());

been trying to connect to my zimbra 7.13 zimbra server, but only getting false back. Havent gotten any errors or debug information at all. Any ideas?

Ah, so i wasnt thinking, the user/pass i was sharing with was an external user that obviously wouldnt have edit abilities, etc. So anyway, i switched it to an internal user and now i get true for connection, but when i try to do a var dump on the $carddav->get(), I only get a response of:

string(51) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response/>
"

Ok, so i updated things to var_dump($carddav->get(true,true)); and I get the following response when viewing the page source:

<D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:"> <D:response> <D:href>/dav/[email protected]/contacts/</D:href> <D:propstat> <D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status> <D:prop> <D:supported-report-set> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <C:addressbook-multiget xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav"/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <C:addressbook-query xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav"/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <D:acl-principal-prop-set/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <D:principal-match/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <D:principal-property-search/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <D:principal-search-property-set/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> <D:supported-report> <D:report> <D:expand-property/> </D:report> </D:supported-report> </D:supported-report-set> <CS:getctag xmlns:CS="http://calendarserver.org/ns/">248163-248155</CS:getctag> <D:resourcetype> <D:collection/> <C:addressbook xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav"/> </D:resourcetype> <D:getcontentlength>0</D:getcontentlength> <D:getlastmodified>Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:25:51 -0600 (CST)</D:getlastmodified> <C:addressbook-description xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav" xml:lang="en_US">Joe Blow's Contacts</C:addressbook-description> <D:displayname>Contacts</D:displayname> <D:getetag>"248163-1"</D:getetag> <D:creationdate>2010-06-23T02:03:51-05:00</D:creationdate> </D:prop> </D:propstat> </D:response> </D:multistatus>

But obviously thats not that useful (unless im missing something) as I need to get a list of contacts or vcard id's or somethign like that, right? I apologize if Im missing something obvious.

I've never tested a Zimbra-Server. It would be great if you can provide and send me a test-account for some days of testing to [email protected].

Nevertheless it seems that the URL ist not complete. I think the URL have to look like that:
https://domain.com/dav/[email protected]/contacts/{resource|principal|username}/{collection}/

Forgot my first comment, your URL should be correct.
I've created a 14 day test account ont the official zimbra website and tested a few hours but I didn't get any useful result :(
Then I've tried to sync the contacts with this Android Plugin (http://dmfs.org/carddav/) but it didn't work as well. I'm not sure wehre the error is but I'll let you know if I find something interesting.

It works with the apple address book for osx and iphone if that means anything.

I just came across the same problem. I've checked the Zimbra response and it seems that the server isn't able to handle the PROPFIND method. It answers with a 501, at least here. Changing or removing the method makes the server return some CSV Data. Well this is not what carddav was made for.

Forget my first comment, too :) The guys gave me the wrong uri. I'll keep u informed.

[christian-putzke]

Thanks for your comments. It seems that Zimbra does have a different xml query handling like other CardDAV-Servers but I'm not sure how to figure out what exactly is different. I'll let you know if I find something interesting.

hi, i'm encountering same problem and same diagnostic as imagetag: reading a vcard works find but i can't write or delete, having error 401.
So I tried something else: import a vcard (file.vcf) with curl via URL https://server.com/service/home/username/contacts?fmt=vcf, it did work but it's just an importation feature, not synchronization. If i import several times the same file.vcf, it just creates several contacts.
did you manage to figure out what's wrong with authentication ? i'll let you know if i can get it work someday...
