Package: davical
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: important
My enviroment sets
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
This leads leads to invalid XML sent to the client application, which
in turn make evolution chew on my contacts and not load anything. The
problem is the <getlastmodified>, generated by the function
ISODateToHTTPDate in always.php. It uses gmstrftime which writes
locale dependent output. In my case this leads to "Mär" in case of
march. As the output is (for some reason) not UTF8 the XML file
(which states to be UTF8) gets corrupted.
I did choose the easy fix and add a setlocale to the method. I didn't
have the time to search through the code to find a more appropriate
place. I'm also not sure that this is the only problematic part.
Perhaps it would be best to generally drop any locale information.
