Pieter is currently working on the CardDAV support on his carddav branch.

There has been no updates on Pieter's branch for a few months now, but I wanted to update here if anyone else comes looking.
I could get the the latest tarball of his cardav branch working with the iPhone/iPad (and not with the Addressbook on the Mac yet) with some work.
It took me some time to figure out, but the best way for getting it to work with the iPhone is to run the CardDAV server on port 8800.
The iPhone would then send an OPTIONS and then a PROPFIND request to "/.well-known/carddav" so I put in a couple of redirects in the code and then it started working fine (with Pieter's readme mentioning that an ADDRESSBOOK needs to be pre-created with a few lines in it).

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks a lot for the message (so yes, it helps at least one person).

I've merged the master branch in the carddav's one and pushed the merge to a new branch on GitHub. It does not work for now, as I've not even launched radicale.py to test (it's a bit late right now, and I'm a bit lazy too). If you're interested in pushing your changes, feel free to fork the branch.

Of course, if you need some help, just ask, I'll do my best!

Thanks for the merge!
Found some time today to test your branch and it didn't work with the same config as Pieter's branch - I think I need to look at ACL as I get unauthorized errors when it should be working. That said, I haven't given it a full shot. Hope to find some time soon and update here.
On another note, in the ACL module - the code for reading the file might need a fix as it doesn't work on Windows :)

In htpasswd.py, in the method has_right, I had to add a call to os.path.expander()

def has_right(owner, user, password):
"""Check if ``user``/``password`` couple is valid."""
for line in open(os.path.expanduser(FILENAME)).readlines():

Let me know if you want me to raise a bug, its Windows only probably.

Korganizer works with existing address books.

Merged into master

I'm new to Radicale an got the latest version from the git master branch running with iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7) on Snow Leopard.

Is CardDAV working without existing address books now? If not, how would I create an addressbook in my ~/.config/radicale folder?

I've never tested Radicale CardDAV support with iCal, and I'd really like to have reports about this.

If adding new address books does not work, you can create an addressbook in the "~/.config/radicale/collections/" folder. WARNING: the path of this folder has been changed one minute ago in master, please pull the latest changes and check your configuration file.

Thanks for you help, but how do I create an addressbook in "~/.config/radicale/collections/" manually?
