IPv6

[AutoImport-grandchild]

At the moment IPv6 server addresses don’t seem to be supported. This is a pity. I’d love to have IPv6 in DavDroid…

On a related note, if I enter an IPv6 address as the URL basename DavDroid crashes. If I include the surrounding [] brackets, it doesn’t crash (but doesn’t connect either, of course).

Hello,
contacts synchronization fails (silently) through my wifi network until I disable IPv6.
Using F-droid 0.5.1-alpha version

1. Can you provide detailed steps to reproduce this?
2. For detecting the problem we need a logcat output from your Android device… Can you somehow provide it? This would be very helpful!

[AutoImport-grandchild]

In the current F-Droid version (0.5.1a) the behaviour seems reversed from what I described initially (or I mixed it up from the start). Anyway, I am on a Nexus 4, Android Version 4.4 KRT16O / rooted with DAVDroid 0.5.1 alpha:

• DAVDroid > Add Account Button
• select DAVDroid from account type list
• enter IPv6 address and with surrounding [] and path like [XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XX::X]/ocname/remote.php/carddav/
• enter login info
• on press of the arrow button the app crashes.
• if I don’t include the [], the arrow button does nothing.

Here’s the log. I replaced my IPv6 with X’s, the amount of written digits is correct though. I also replaced my owncloud URL name with ocname, but I guess that’s of little relevance

…looks like the URL string is parsed, deemed false, discarded and the empty URL not caught.

[AutoImport-jm-github]

I looked at the logcat, and I found that my problem is in fact a serveur setup problem (multiple virtual hosts and https cause TLS errors. I tinkered in my server setup and now my synchronization now works well.

I use IPv6 through DNS lookup, not IPv6 directly in the URL, like grandchild. For grandchild bug, it seems related to “fixing” brackets around IPv6

[rfc2822]

So, is this fixed now and DAVdroid works with IPv6 for you?

[AutoImport-grandchild]

Looking at jm’s comment it seems to be working with a domain name. But users might not have a domain or a fixed server IP (like me) and use IPv6 tunnels (like from Hurricane Electric or SiXXs) to tunnel through the IPv4 internet. So direct IPv6 entry as a server name would definitely be nice
