7.8.3. Example: Expanded Retrieval of Recurring Events

In this example, the client requests the server to return VEVENT components that overlap the time range from January 2, 2006, at 00: 00:00 A.M. UTC to January 5, 2006, at 00:00:00 A.M. UTC and to return recurring calendar components expanded into individual recurrence instance calendar components. Use of the CALDAV:expand element causes the server to only return overridden recurrence instances that overlap the time range specified in that element.

See Appendix B for the calendar data being targeted by this example.
