Summary0002492: sync-token changes with every request if nothing has changed in a collection
Description

Sending a sync-collection report to a collection (calendar or addressbook) that has not been changed returns an different sync token every time the request has been sent.

The sync-token is meant to reflect changes and it should not change without a change in the collection.

Steps To Reproduce

Sending this request

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<D:sync-collection xmlns:D="DAV:">
<D:sync-token>1384190112</D:sync-token>
<D:limit><D:nresults>10</D:nresults></D:limit>
<D:sync-level>1</D:sync-level>
<D:prop>
<D:getcontenttype />
<D:getetag />
<D:displayname />
</D:prop>
</D:sync-collection>

to http://sogo-demo.inverse.ca/SOGo/dav/sogo1/Calendar/personal three times in series returned these results:

<D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:"><D:sync-token>1384192108</D:sync-token></D:multistatus>[

<D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:"><D:sync-token>1384192109</D:sync-token></D:multistatus>

<D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:"><D:sync-token>1384192110</D:sync-token></D:multistatus>

Additional Information

If the response actually contains changes, the returned sync token is always the same (when sending the same request multiple times), just like it should be.

TagsNo tags attached.

You shouldn't use sogo-demo for such tests as lots (read hundreds of BILLIONS!) of users are doing random crap at the same time.

I've just tried it on my local installation and it works as expected.

Sorry, I have to reopen this.
As you can see, the three subsequent requests didn't contain any changes (i.e. no response tag), but the sync-token changed (I've sent the same sync-token with all three requests). That should not happen.
The sync token should not change if there was no change in the collection. In that case the server should return the same token that was sent with the request.
The sync-token should behave like the ctag in that case. Actually, it's the successor of the ctag. It has the same meaning in terms of indicating changes in a collection, just with the extended functionality to get the actual changes.

I was able to reproduce this with a non-public SOGo installation running 2.0.7. Initially the issue has been reported by a user.
