[SOLVED] problems with REST API: Get Calendar

[confiq]

Hi Guys,
I'm building some mini-portal where users will be able to login and see company information including they calendar.
So for calendar part, I decided to use Zimbra_REST_API_Reference:Get_Calendar but I have little problems. Docs says:

http://localhost:7070/home/john.doe/calendar?{params}
* fmt. Optional. The response format. Defaults to ics format.
* start. Optional. The start time range (milliseconds | yyyy/dd/mm | mm/dd/yyy | relative dates ).
* end. Optional. The end time range (milliseconds | yyyy/dd/mm | mm/dd/yyy | relative dates ).
* query. Optional. A query string.

So, if I'll go to:

http://localhost:7070/home/john.doe/calendar?fmt=json&start=20110504&end=20110704

It should bring me events in JSON format for period of 3 days (from april 5 until april 7) but it brings me whole calendar in json format.
If I change fmt to RSS it brings empty XML and I'm sure that i have few event for that period.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <rss version="2.0"><channel><title>Zimbra calendar</title><link>http://www.zimbra.com</link><description>Zimbra item calendar in RSS format.</description><generator>Zimbra RSS Feed Servlet</generator></channel></rss>

Am I missing something?
Can anyone confirm?

Hi.

All parameters do not work with all formats !
begin and end dates are fine with ICS format. Don't know about other formats.

well, IMHO it would be good to mention that in documentation !
I'm looking to import data for only one day, what is best way to do that?
I'm preferring XML/JSON format!

EDIT:
I also changed fmt to ics and i didn't get any events in that period. ex:

https://webmail.company.com/zimbra/home/USER/calendar?fmt=ics&start=20110504&end=20110704

And I'm sure i have few events in that period....

I am using ics format with an url like this :

https://webmail.company.com/zimbra/home/USER/calendar.ics?start=yyyy/mm/dd&end=yyyy/mm/dd

The end day is the next day, not the same day as the start day, when looking for a given day events.

The only way to find the correct url is to try.. Sigh.

actualy,
i figured out few things:
1) date format is not 20090123 as given in example
2) format yyyy/dd/mm didn't work for me, however m/d/Y do work
3) json format ALWAYS returns whole calendar instead of start/end period. If you use rss/ics it works fine.

none of these are mention in documentation....
Hope it helps somebody....
