[Kroupware] Kolab IMAP -> iCal

[Jason A. Pattie]

We're going to work on implementing this ... today!  :)

Just wanted to throw some more ideas out and get some feedback before we
get too heavily into implementing some proof-of-concept code.

In my searching I have found code on perl.apache.org (since we like Perl
and use it quite extensively in all of our other projects, sorry to
those who object) that will allow me to write a mod_perl handler for
HTTP Authentication.  I can then directly have access in variables to
the username and password that were utilized to authenticate.  The
"authentication" will only succeed if I can then use some sort of
Perl::IMAP module (not the real name, unless it happens to be the real
module on CPAN, haven't looked it up yet) to "login" to the Kolab IMAP
server.  From that point, I will lookup the user's Calendar folder and
retrieve all messages from it.  The MIME contents of each message will
be retrieved from each message.  Concatenation of the messages' MIME
components will take place and a VCALENDAR:BEGIN and VCALENDAR:END will
be (pre|ap)pended to the output that will then be sent to the requesting
client.

Anything I need to know/missed before I embark on this grand voyage?
