Namespace

Purpose

Specified one of the following

1. A supported media type for calendar object resources when nested in the CALDAV:supported-calendar-data property;

2. The parts of a calendar object resource should be returned by a calendaring report;

3. The content of a calendar object resource in a response to a calendaring report.

Description

When nested in the CALDAV property, the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element specifies a media type supported by the CalDAV server for calendar object resources.

When used in a calendaring REPORT request, the CALDAV:calendar- data XML element specifies which parts of calendar object resources need to be returned in the response. If the CALDAV: calendar-data XML element doesn't contain any CALDAV:comp element, calendar object resources will be returned in their entirety.

Finally, when used in a calendaring REPORT response, the CALDAV: calendar-data XML element specifies the content of a calendar object resource. Given that XML parsers normalize the two- character sequence CRLF (US-ASCII decimal 13 and US-ASCII decimal 10) to a single LF character (US-ASCII decimal 10), the CR character (US-ASCII decimal 13) MAY be omitted in calendar object resources specified in the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element. Furthermore, calendar object resources specified in the CALDAV: calendar-data XML element MAY be invalid per their media type specification if the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element part of the calendaring REPORT request did not specify required properties (e.g., UID, DTSTAMP, etc.), or specified a CALDAV:prop XML element with the "novalue" attribute set to "yes".

Note

The CALDAV and responses inside the DAV:prop XML element as if it were a WebDAV property. However, the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element is not a WebDAV property and, as such, is not returned in PROPFIND responses, nor used in PROPPATCH requests.

Note: The iCalendar data embedded within the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element MUST follow the standard XML character data encoding rules, including use of <, >, & etc. entity encoding or the use of a construct. In the later case, the iCalendar data cannot contain the character sequence "]]>", which is the end delimiter for the CDATA section.

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.
