Property Parameters

IANA and non-standard property parameters can be specified on this property.

Conformance

This property can be specified once in the "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL", or "VFREEBUSY" calendar components.

Description

This property may be used in a calendar component to convey a location where a more dynamic rendition of the calendar information associated with the calendar component can be found.

If the URL property and Content-Location MIME header are both specified, they MUST point to the same resource.

This property is defined by the following notation:

 url        = "URL" urlparam ":" uri CRLF

 urlparam   = *(";" other-param)

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.
