Summary0001264: CalDAV PUT of an externally generated invite does not generate a valid REPLY object
Description

PUT an invite generated by an external calendar client into SOGo and it sends a reply to the organizer, however this is not a REPLY object, it's a direct copy of the original input (including other attendees).

I'd expect to see a REPLY object generated based on the PUT data sent to the organizer only containing the one ATTENDEE component.

Additional Information

Steps:

  • Generate an invite using a client like Lightning
  • Remove the METHOD line (as per RFC 4791, 4.1)
  • As a user listed as an ATTENDEE: PUT the invite to a SOGo calendar

SOGo then sends a message to the organizer saying "%USER% has not yet decided upon your event invitation" with the original invite as a text/calendar attachment. More telling is the RFC invalid "method=;" in the attachment's header:
content-type: text/calendar; method=; charset="ISO-8859-1"

TagsNo tags attached.

Why would you remove the METHOD line? Doing this, you're altering SOGo's data without its knowledge and this may lead to strange behaviors.

If organizer A invites user B to an event, B isn't supposed to be able to add attendees to that event. B is supposed to be able to change its participation status, that's it.

Maybe I was reading the RFC wrong. Watching other clients do PUT events, they didn't include a METHOD line.

Not removing the METHOD line just causes SOGo to reply to the organiser including the original invite as an attachment and mime content-type method=REQUEST. I was hoping for a REPLY object to be attached. When the attendee's PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION the text attachment says "$attendee has not yet decided upon your event invitation." If PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED the text says "$attendee has accepted your event invitation."

I'm not sure if this really is a SOGo bug or user error. I got around the issue by doing it Properly client side. If the event doesn't already exist in SOGo: set SCHEDULE-AGENT=CLIENT on the organizer property and then generate the REPLY myself.

I've just repeated the testing with debian-nightly squeeze version 1.3.0.20110711. I can't see any change in the originally reported behaviour.
