Bug Description

I've tried to connect my bq Aquaris 4.5 with my OwnCloud instance, however I'm always getting a "Invalid host URL" message.

I tried the following:

 1. Open the Calendar app.
 2. Open the list of calendars.
 3. Select "Add online Calendar".
 4. Select "ownCloud".
 5. Under URL I entered the IP address of my server.

Now, you have to know that my server is residing in my local network (and I have no intention of syncing my calendars to my phone outside of my local network) so I entered (without quotes, "x" is a placeholder for a valid number) "https://192.168.x.x/~user/" as URL, however it is rejected. I tried with only the IP address and it also gives me the "Invalid host URL" message.

Additionally, I use a self-signed certificate (because I'm the only one using this server), but that might be a completely unrelated topic.

Hi Robert! "Invalid host URL" is a generic message.

Please try connecting to the phone with the phablet-shell command and run this:

   OAU_LOGGING_LEVEL=2 OAU_DAEMON_TIMEOUT=9999 online-accounts-service

Then try creating the account again in your phone, and you should see some output from the command above. If you could then attach that output to this bug, that should show us what exactly is going wrong.

Seems like I spoke too son, the URL is definitely tried:

    qml: Trying host https://myserver/~myuser as :
    qml: response:
    qml: callback called: false

Seems like it's not receiving any answer, but I can guarantee that it is accessible. Maybe it *is* my self-signed certificate which makes it impossible for this to fetch?

On an unrelated note, I get a ton of those:

    file:///usr/share/accounts/qml-plugins/owncloud/Main.qml:4:1: QML Main: Binding loop detected for property "contentHeight"

Should I lock them as separate ticket?

Hi,
I get the same symptom with a trusted certificate. Is there a minimal required version of owncloud ?
