Try out our new RRULE tool for creating RRULE compatible strings.

In this example, the client requests the server to return the VFREEBUSY components that have free busy information that overlap the time range from January 2, 2006, at 00:00:00 A.M. UTC (inclusively) to January 3, 2006, at 00:00:00 A.M. UTC (exclusively). Use of the CALDAV:limit-freebusy-set element causes the server to only return the FREEBUSY property values that overlap the time range specified in that element. Note that this is not an example of discovering when the calendar owner is busy.

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

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.
