Caldav sync to owncloud with non-latin characters results in question marks being displayed [released]
asked 2014-10-23 15:46:10 +0200
I have an owncloud server and I have setup a CalDAV account to sync calendars between Jolla and owncloud server. When creating events in calendar app using Greek characters in any field (e.g. summary, location) using a calendar hosted on owncloud, upon sync the events appear on owncloud web interface but instead of Greek characters I only see question marks.
Event as created on Jolla:
Event displayed on owncloud web interface after sync:
From apache logs I see the Jolla PUT-ting the ICS file on CalDAV server; when I manually get the ICS file, I see it actually contains question marks instead of the characters I input.
The issue is present since Sailfish version 1.0.8 and I can confirm it exists also in 1.0.9 and 1.1.0.38 (opt-in upgrade). If further input is required to investigate, please ask me. Perhaps this is related to this issue about caldav and umlauts? (that question does not mention viewing question marks instead of the actual character, which is why I started a new one).
Thanks!
I have the same problem with japanese characters
