This section lists what functionality is required of a CalDAV server. To advertise support for CalDAV, a server:

o MUST support iCalendar [RFC2445] as a media type for the calendar object resource format;

o MUST support WebDAV Class 1 [RFC2518] (note that [rfc2518bis] describes clarifications to [RFC2518] that aid interoperability);

o MUST support WebDAV ACL [RFC3744] with the additional privilege defined in Section 6.1 of this document;

o MUST support transport over TLS [RFC2246] as defined in [RFC2818] (note that [RFC2246] has been obsoleted by [RFC4346]);

o MUST support ETags [RFC2616] with additional requirements specified in Section 5.3.4 of this document;

o MUST support all calendaring reports defined in Section 7 of this document; and

o MUST advertise support on all calendar collections and calendar object resources for the calendaring reports in the DAV:supported- report-set property, as defined in Versioning Extensions to WebDAV [RFC3253].

In addition, a server:

o SHOULD support the MKCALENDAR method defined in Section 5.3.1 of this document.

Need to test your iCalendar feeds?

The iCalendar Validator provides developers and testers a method to validate their iCalendar feeds, which can take data from either a URL, file or text snippet and compare it against the RFC 5545 specification.  We believe we have one of the best iCalendar validation tools available on the internet. More information about the validator can be found here.
