The CALDAV

calendar-multiget REPORT is used to retrieve specific calendar object resources from within a collection, if the Request- URI is a collection, or to retrieve a specific calendar object resource, if the Request-URI is a calendar object resource. This report is similar to the CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT (see Section 7.8), except that it takes a list of DAV:href elements, instead of a CALDAV:filter element, to determine which calendar object resources to return.

Support for the CALDAV

calendar-multiget REPORT is REQUIRED.

Marshalling

The request body MUST be a CALDAV:calendar-multiget XML element (see Section 9.10). If the Request-URI is a collection resource, then the DAV:href elements MUST refer to calendar object resources within that collection, and they MAY refer to calendar object resources at any depth within the collection. As a result, the "Depth" header MUST be ignored by the server and SHOULD NOT be sent by the client. If the Request-URI refers to a non-collection resource, then there MUST be a single DAV:href element that is equivalent to the Request-URI.

The response body for a successful request MUST be a DAV: multistatus XML element.

The response body for a successful CALDAV:calendar-multiget REPORT request MUST contain a DAV:response element for each calendar object resource referenced by the provided set of DAV:href elements. Calendar data is being returned in the CALDAV:calendar- data element inside the DAV:prop element.

In the case of an error accessing any of the provided DAV:href resources, the server MUST return the appropriate error status code in the DAV:status element of the corresponding DAV:response element.

Preconditions

(CALDAV

supported-calendar-data) and "version" of the CALDAV:calendar-data XML elements (see Section 9.6) specify a media type supported by the server for calendar object resources.

(CALDAV

min-date-time) MUST have its start or end DATE or DATE-TIME values greater than or equal to the value of the CALDAV:min-date-time property value (Section 5.2.6) on the calendar collections being targeted by the REPORT request;

(CALDAV

max-date-time) MUST have its start or end DATE or DATE-TIME values less than or equal to the value of the CALDAV:max-date-time property value (Section 5.2.7) on the calendar collections being targeted by the REPORT request;

Postconditions

None.

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.
