How to get a vCard (.vcf file) into Android contacts from website

Question

I\'m trying to add a vCard from a web link to the user\'s contact list on Android 2.2. When I direct the user to .vcf file, all I get is text output in the mobile browser.

Answer 1

I'm running 2.2 and there is no change, reports from others on 2.3 say the same. Android (bug) does not handle a .vcf nor a link to such a file on a web page via port 80, neither via http headers or direct streaming. It just is NOT SUPPORTED AT ALL.
