Hello,
I'm using syncevolution (Version 1.3) on my N900 for years now - great
software!
Now I want to add another sync. The server uses CGI. But the syncURL
contains ? and &, e.g. https://silly.com/cgi?user=name&bla=blub .
These special characters are interpreted by syncevolution to different
options.
How can I specify the URL in the configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Helge
3:58 a.m.
To be more precise, here is an example for the occurring error:
$ syncevolution --print-databases SSLVerifyServer=0 backend=caldav
syncURL=https://some.domain.com/Ical.do?user=name&bla=blub
leads to
[ERROR] unknown parameter user=name in URL
https://some.domain.com/Ical.do?user=name&bla=blub
You can test with this dummy URL because the error occurs before
connecting the site.
Sincerely, Helge

Are you using SyncML or WebDAV?
It's true that the WebDAV backend looks for "SyncEvolution" as
parameter, but I am less sure whether parameters get removed. I would
have to check the actual code again.
I assume you have tried simply using "syncURL =
https://silly.com/cgi?user=name&bla=blub" and it didn't work?

Hello Patrick,
Are you using SyncML or WebDAV?
I'm using WebDAV. I have a similar configuration with a "normal" URL
which works fine. The Problem occurs with the parameter
database=URL/cgi?user=name
If I remove the questionmark I get the "right" error 'host not found'.

I'm afraid there's currently no workaround. The code in the WebDAV
backend will have be changed. I remember that the original intention was
to only filter out the "SyncEvolution" parameter, but as it is
implemented now, other parameters are treated as error instead of
preserving them.
I can try to fix this in 1.5.1.
