Subject: Retrieve addressbook objects
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

I expect this is a very simple problem to solve but... What is the best way
to retrieve ALL the addressbook objects contained within an addressbook
collection? I've been reading rfc 6352 but it doesn't seem to directly
address this. It demonstrates how to retrieve objects based on certain
conditions, but not how to retrieve everything. I think that an
addressbook-query report must contain a filter element, but I'm not sure
how to structure the request so that it returns every object.
Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi,

First: I would recommend against it. It is better to first get the list of
all urls, and then fetch the vcards in batches with multiget.

But, if you're ok with this.. the request would look something like this:

   REPORT /home/bernard/addressbook/ HTTP/1.1
   Host: addressbook.example.com
   Depth: 1
   Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
   Content-Length: xxxx

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <C:addressbook-query xmlns:D="DAV:"
                     xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav">
     <D:prop>
       <D:getetag/>
       <C:address-data/>
     </D:prop>
     <C:filter />
   </C:addressbook-query>

Thanks Evert, I was wondering exactly that.

However, how do I retrieve all the urls in the first place?! Again, I can't find anything in rfc 6352 that deals with this. Should I be reading another memo in conjunction?!

Also, when you talk about batches, what would you recommend as the maximum size of batch per request? I'm assuming you don't recommend getting all the data using a calendar-query because of the potential size of the response?

Thanks,
N

With PROPFIND on the addressbook home.

I think OS X addressbook does about 100 fetches per request, but I'm not fully sure.

If you want to know more about how to do syncing, the best think I can recommend is to just see what existing clients are doing.

I'm interested in that. I was wondering if it is possible to read, write
and delete addressbook entries in batches to improve performance.
Can you elaborate a bit on how to use multiget?

Cheers,
Michael

SabreDAV has nothing to support this.

Hope this helps,
