Hi James, I don’t know exactly what is wrong here, but I agree that it looks like an IPv6 issue. We don’t have an explicit configuration setting for ipv4 / ipv6, but there is a BindAddress setting that influences this behavior.
http://trac.calendarserver.org/changeset/8949 Full context in trunk: http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/trunk/calendarserver/tap/caldav.py#L1112 Try setting BindAddress to your server’s ipv4 address, or a hostname which resolves to (only) an ipv4 address. Note especially that ‘localhost’ might resolve to both v4 and v6. If that doesn’t work, you could experiment with altering the logic in caldav.py, perhaps to ensure it never returns ["", "::”], but rather only [“”].
