Everything here came from running the account flow against a real
Nextcloud rather than from reading the code.
Discovery
- A typed bare origin now gets the RFC 6764 well-known probe. It was
returned as the only candidate, so `https://cloud.example.com` — what
people actually type — was PROPFIND'd against the web UI, answered 405,
and a working Nextcloud reported as "not a CalDAV server".
- A same-host HTTPS→HTTP redirect is put back on TLS instead of refused
(`dav` change 7). A Nextcloud behind a TLS-terminating proxy without
`overwriteprotocol` builds every redirect with http://, including the
/.well-known/caldav hop discovery depends on. Cross-host still throws.
- Outcomes carry a `Cause` the UI translates, not the server's own words.
"HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed" told someone entering an address nothing,
in a language they may not read, from outside strings.xml.
- An IPv6 origin keeps its brackets: `HttpUrl.host` returns "fd00::1", so
the rebuilt origin did not parse and a homelab address came back as
"not an address".
Login Flow v2
- The poll response's scheme is coerced, never refused. Nextcloud returns
the app password exactly once, so throwing there burned a live
credential and left it dangling in the user's device list. The host
mismatch already worked this way; the scheme now matches it.
Accounts
- The accounts screen observes Room and the sign-in state instead of
taking a snapshot, so a sync landing — or a 401 stopping an account —
reaches a screen that is already open.
- A per-account detail screen, and provider identity (`CalDavProvider`)
shared with the quirk table so one list drives both the icon and the
warning.
- The password field masks: floret-kit's `InlineTextField` gained a
visual transformation, since `KeyboardType.Password` only tells the IME
to drop suggestions.
New :caldav module — MIT, plain JVM, api-depends on :dav. Separate from the
vendored MPL tree so the licences stay unmixed, and so "no Android types" is a
compile-time guarantee rather than a discipline. Chunk 2 split again: the
Android account layer (Keystore, AccountManager, Custom Tabs, account-add UI)
is 2c, with different verification and an on-device review.
- ServiceDiscovery: the RFC 6764 ladder. SRV priority/weight, TXT path=,
non-443 ports, "." targets, well-known then root.
- CollectionClassifier: the two filters that are inversions of the obvious
rule. An absent or empty supported-calendar-component-set means "supports
everything", and classification is a positive test for CALDAV:calendar on an
unordered set — excluding schedule-outbox would drop SOGo's main calendar.
- CalDavDiscovery: OPTIONS gate, principal, every home set, Depth-1 by name.
A failing home set does not fail the account, and every home set failing is
reported as an error rather than as an account with no lists.
- NextcloudLoginFlow: POST not GET, a User-Agent the user can recognise when
revoking, 404-means-pending only, both URLs origin-checked, host mismatch
carried rather than refused (reverse proxies are ordinary).
- PreemptiveBasicInterceptor, ServerQuirks.
dnsjava 3.6.3 (BSD-3) added: Android's DnsResolver is callback-only and cannot
do the TXT path lookup, and JNDI's DNS provider does not exist on Android.
Behind an interface, so every trap is tested with a fake and no network.
:dav gains change 6 — <D:unauthenticated/> is parsed rather than inferred from
a null href, which also fires on a merely non-conformant empty element.
52 tests here, 78 in :dav. SYNC.md's live-probed trap table is executable now.
JitPack-only publishing conflicts with FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS, artifacts are
unsigned and not immutable, and upstream shipped two breaking majors 19 days
apart. 2.2.1 is the last OkHttp release: 3.0.0 moved to Ktor and 4.x needs
Java 21, and SYNC.md's whole auth section is written in OkHttp terms, so 4.x
would have invalidated it. A plain JVM module, not an Android library — the
tree has no Android imports and keeping it that way keeps the floret-kit
extraction a file move.
Four changes from upstream, all in dav/PROVENANCE.md:
- commons-lang3 dropped (one import, one call). The replacement requires the
whole string to be consumed, as DateUtils did: pattern 1 ends in a literal
'GMT', so SimpleDateFormat would match "...GMT+02:00" as a prefix and throw
the offset away.
- HTTP dates were parsed and formatted in the device's local zone — the GMT in
the format string is a quoted literal and timeZone was never set, so every
getlastmodified was out by the local UTC offset. Upstream tests dates
nowhere. The formatter is also no longer shared and mutable.
- dav4jvm#209: permanent redirects now reach the caller via
DavResource.permanentLocation, cleared per request so it never describes an
earlier one.
- xpp3 is compileOnly; Android supplies org.xmlpull.v1.
SYNC.md's other claimed defect, "does not follow 303", is not true of 2.2.1 —
pinned by a test rather than removed from the notes.
CI names :dav:test explicitly; testDebugUnitTest is Android-only and would
have run none of the vendored suite. lintDebug added to the per-chunk checks
after it caught a literal byte-order mark left by chunk 1.
