9.8. CALDAV:timezone XML Element

Name

timezone

Namespace

urn

Purpose

Specifies the time zone component to use when determining the results of a report.

Description

The CALDAV given calendaring REPORT request, the server MUST rely on the specified VTIMEZONE component instead of the CALDAV:calendar- timezone property of the calendar collection, in which the calendar object resource is contained to resolve "date" values and "date with local time" values (i.e., floating time) to "date with UTC time" values. The server will require this information to determine if a calendar component scheduled with "date" values or "date with local time" values intersects a CALDAV:time-range specified in a CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT.

Note

The iCalendar data embedded within the CALDAV 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.
