Abstract

   This document specifies a set of methods, headers, message bodies,
   properties, and reports that define calendar access extensions to the
   WebDAV protocol.  The new protocol elements are intended to make
   WebDAV-based calendaring and scheduling an interoperable standard
   that supports calendar access, calendar management, calendar sharing,

1.  Introduction

   The concept of using HTTP [RFC2616] and WebDAV [RFC2518] as a basis
   for a calendar access protocol is by no means a new concept: it was
   discussed in the IETF CALSCH working group as early as 1997 or 1998.
   Several companies have implemented calendar access protocols using
   HTTP to upload and download iCalendar [RFC2445] objects, and using
   WebDAV to get listings of resources.  However, those implementations
   do not interoperate because there are many small and big decisions to
   be made in how to model calendaring data as WebDAV resources, as well
   as how to implement required features that aren't already part of
   WebDAV.  This document proposes a way to model calendar data in
   WebDAV, with additional features to make an interoperable calendar
   access protocol.

   Discussion of this Internet-Draft is taking place on the mailing list
   <http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-caldav>.

1.1.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   The term "protected" is used in the Conformance field of property
   definitions as defined in Section 1.4.2 of [RFC3253].

   When XML element types in the namespaces "DAV:" and
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" are referenced in this document
   outside of the context of an XML fragment, the string "DAV:" and
   "CALDAV:" will be prefixed to the element type names respectively.

1.2.  XML Namespaces

   Definitions of XML elements in this document use XML element type
   declarations (as found in XML Document Type Declarations), described
   in Section 3.2 of [W3C.REC-xml-20040204].

   The namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" is reserved for the XML
   elements defined in this specification, its revisions, and related
   CalDAV specifications.  XML elements defined by individual
   implementations MUST NOT use the "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"
   namespace, and instead should use a namespace that they control.

   The XML declarations used in this document do not include namespace
   information.  Thus, implementers MUST NOT use these declarations as
   the only way to create valid CalDAV properties or to validate CalDAV
   XML element type.  Some of the declarations refer to XML elements



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006                [Page 5]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   defined by WebDAV [RFC2518] which use the "DAV:" namespace.  Wherever
   such XML elements appear, they are explicitly prefixed with "DAV:" to
   avoid confusion.

   Also note that some CalDAV XML element names are identical to WebDAV
   XML element names, though their namespace differs.  Care must be
   taken not to confuse the two sets of names.

1.3.  Method Preconditions and Postconditions

   A "precondition" of a method describes the state of the server that
   must be true for that method to be performed.  A "postcondition" of a
   method describes the state of the server that must be true after that
   method has been completed.  If a method precondition or postcondition
   for a request is not satisfied, the response status of the request
   MUST be either 403 (Forbidden) if the request should not be repeated
   because it will always fail, or 409 (Conflict) if it is expected that
   the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the
   request.

   In order to allow better client handling of 403 and 409 responses, a
   distinct XML element type is associated with each method precondition
   and postcondition of a request.  When a particular precondition is
   not satisfied or a particular postcondition cannot be achieved, the
   appropriate XML element MUST be returned as the child of a top-level
   DAV:error element in the response body, unless otherwise negotiated
   by the request.


2.  Requirements Overview

   This section lists what functionality is required of a CalDAV server.
   To advertise support for CalDAV, a server:

   o  MUST support iCalendar [RFC2445] as a media type for calendar
      object resource format;

   o  MUST support WebDAV Class 1 [RFC2518];

   o  MUST support WebDAV ACL [RFC3744] with the additional privilege
      defined in Section 6.1 of this document;

   o  MUST support transport over TLS [RFC2246] as defined in [RFC2818];

   o  MUST support ETags [RFC2616] with additional requirements
      specified in Section 5.3.4 of this document;

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   o  MUST support all calendaring REPORTs defined in Section 7 of this
      document; and

   o  MUST advertise support on all calendar collections and calendar
      object resources for the calendaring REPORTs in the DAV:supported-
      report-set property as defined in Versioning Extensions to WebDAV
      [RFC3253].

   In addition, a server:

   o  SHOULD support the MKCALENDAR method defined in Section 5.3.1 of
      this document.


3.  Calendaring Data Model

   One of the features which has made WebDAV a successful protocol is
   its firm data model.  This makes it a useful framework for other
   applications such as calendaring.  This specification follows the
   same pattern by developing all features based on a well-described
   data model.

   As a brief overview, a CalDAV calendar is modeled as a WebDAV
   collection with a defined structure; each calendar collection
   contains a number of resources representing calendar objects as its
   direct child resource.  Each resource representing a calendar object
   (event or to-do, or journal entry, or other calendar components) is
   called a "calendar object resource".  Each calendar object resource
   and each calendar collection can be individually locked and have
   individual WebDAV properties.  Requirements derived from this model
   are provided in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.

3.1.  Calendar Server

   A CalDAV server is a calendaring-aware engine combined with a WebDAV
   repository.  A WebDAV repository is a set of WebDAV collections,
   containing other WebDAV resources, within a unified URL namespace.
   For example, the repository "http://www.example.com/webdav/" may
   contain WebDAV collections and resources, all of which have URLs
   beginning with "http://www.example.com/webdav/".  Note that the root
   URL "http://www.example.com/" may not itself be a WebDAV repository
   (for example, if the WebDAV support is implemented through a servlet
   or other Web server extension).

   A WebDAV repository MAY include calendar data in some parts of its
   URL namespace, and non-calendaring data in other parts.

   A WebDAV repository can advertise itself as a CalDAV server if it



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006                [Page 7]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   supports the functionality defined in this specification at any point
   within the root of the repository.  That might mean that calendaring
   data is spread throughout the repository and mixed with non-calendar
   data in nearby collections (e.g., calendar data may be found in
   /home/lisa/calendars/ as well as in /home/bernard/calendars/, and
   non-calendar data in /home/lisa/contacts/).  Or, it might mean that
   calendar data can be found only in certain sections of the repository
   (e.g., /calendar/).  Calendaring features are only required in the
   repository sections that are or contain calendar object resources.
   So a repository confining calendar data to the /calendar/ collection
   would only need to support the CalDAV required features within that
   collection.

   The CalDAV server or repository is the canonical location for
   calendar data and state information.  Both CalDAV servers and clients
   MUST ensure that the data is consistent and compliant.  Clients may
   submit requests to change data or download data.  Clients may store
   calendar objects offline and attempt to synchronize at a later time.
   However, clients MUST be prepared for calendar data on the server to
   change between the time of last synchronization and when attempting
   an update, as calendar collections may be shared and accessible via
   multiple clients.  Entity tags and other features make this possible.

3.2.  Recurrence and the Data Model

   Recurrence is an important part of the data model because it governs
   how many resources are expected to exist.  This specification models
   a recurring calendar component and its recurrence exceptions as a
   single resource.  In this model, recurrence rules, recurrence dates,
   exception rules, and exception dates are all part of the data in a
   single calendar object resource.  This model avoids problems of
   limiting how many recurrence instances to store in the repository,
   how to keep recurrence instances in sync with the recurring calendar
   component, and how to link recurrence exceptions with the recurring
   calendar component.  It also results in less data to synchronize
   between client and server, and makes it easier to make changes to all
   recurrence instances or to a recurrence rule.  It makes it easier to
   create a recurring calendar component, and easier to delete all
   recurrence instances.

   Clients are not forced to retrieve information about all recurrence
   instances of a recurring component.  The CALDAV:calendar-query and
   CALDAV:calendar-multiget REPORTs defined in this document allow
   clients to retrieve only recurrence instances that overlap a given
   time range.

4.  Calendar Resources

4.1.  Calendar Object Resources

   Calendar object resources contained in calendar collections MUST NOT
   contain more than one type of calendar component (e.g., VEVENT,
   VTODO, VJOURNAL, VFREEBUSY, etc.) with the exception of VTIMEZONE
   components which MUST be specified for each unique TZID parameter
   value specified in the iCalendar object.  For instance, a calendar
   object resource can contain two VEVENT components and one VTIMEZONE
   component, but it cannot contain one VEVENT component and one VTODO
   component.

   Calendar object resources contained in calendar collections MUST NOT
   specify the iCalendar METHOD property.

   The UID property value of the calendar components contained in a
   calendar object resource MUST be unique in the scope of the calendar
   collection in which they are stored.

   Calendar components in a calendar collection that have different UID
   property values MUST be stored in separate calendar object resources.

   Calendar components with the same UID property value, in a given
   calendar collection, MUST be contained in the same calendar object
   resource.  This ensures that all components in a recurrence "set" are
   contained in the same calendar object resource.  It is possible for a
   calendar object resource to just contain components that represent
   "overridden" instances (ones which modify the behavior of a regular
   instance, and thus include a RECURRENCE-ID property), without also
   including the "master" recurring component (the one that defines the
   recurrence "set" and does not contain any "RECURRENCE-ID" property).

   For example, given the following iCalendar object:

   The VEVENT component with the UID value "1@example.com", would be
   stored in its own calendar object resource.  The two VEVENT
   components with the UID value "2@example.com", which represent a
   recurring event where one recurrence instance has been overridden,
   would be stored in the same calendar object resource.

4.2.  Calendar Collection

   A calendar collection contains calendar object resources that
   represent calendar components within a calendar.  A calendar
   collection is manifested to clients as a WebDAV resource collection
   identified by a URL.  A calendar collection MUST report the DAV:
   collection and CALDAV:calendar XML elements in the value of the DAV:
   resourcetype property.  The element type declaration for CALDAV:
   calendar is:

       <!ELEMENT calendar EMPTY>

   A calendar collection can be created through provisioning (e.g.,
   automatically created when a user's account is provisioned), or it

   can be created with the MKCALENDAR method (see Section 5.3.1).  This
   method can be useful for a user to create additional calendars (e.g.,
   soccer schedule) or for users to share a calendar (e.g., team events
   or conference room).  Note however that this document doesn't define
   what extra calendar collections are for.  Users must rely on non-
   standard cues to find out what a calendar collection is for, or use
   the CALDAV:calendar-description property defined in Section 5.2.1 to
   provide such a cue.

   Calendar collections MUST only contain calendar object resources and
   collections that are not calendar collections.  Furthermore,
   collections contained in calendar collections MUST NOT contain
   calendar collections.  This specification does not define how
   collections contained in calendar collections are used and may relate
   to the calendar object resources contained in the calendar
   collections.

   Multiple calendar collections MAY be children of the same collection.


5.  Calendar Access Feature

5.1.  Calendar Access Support

   A server supporting the features described in this document MUST
   include "calendar-access" as a field in the DAV response header from
   an OPTIONS request on any resource that supports any calendar
   properties, reports, method, or privilege.  A value of "calendar-
   access" in the DAV response header MUST indicate that the server
   supports all MUST level requirements specified in this document.

5.1.1.  Example: Using OPTIONS for the Discovery of Calendar Access
        Support

   >> Request <<

   OPTIONS /home/bernard/calendars/ HTTP/1.1
   Host: cal.example.com

   >> Response <<

   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Allow: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, COPY, MOVE
   Allow: PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK, REPORT, ACL
   DAV: 1, 2, access-control, calendar-access

   In this example, the OPTIONS method returns the value "calendar-
   access" in the DAV response header to indicate that the collection
   "/home/bernard/calendars/" may support properties, reports, methods,
   or privilege defined in this specification.

5.2.  Calendar Collection Properties

   This section defines properties that MAY be defined on calendar
   collections.

5.2.1.  CALDAV:calendar-description Property

   Name: calendar-description

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Provides a human-readable description of the calendar
      collection.

   Conformance: This property MAY be protected and SHOULD NOT be
      returned by a PROPFIND DAV:allprop request (as defined in Section
      12.14.1 of [RFC2518]).  An xml:lang attribute indicating the human
      language of the description SHOULD be set for this property by
      clients or through server provisioning.  Servers MUST return any
      xml:lang attribute if set for the property.

   Description: The CALDAV:calendar-description property MAY be defined
      on any calendar collection.  If present, the property contains a
      description of the calendar collection that is suitable for
      presentation to a user.

   Definition:

         <!ELEMENT calendar-description (#PCDATA)>
         PCDATA value: string

   Example:

         <C:calendar-description xml:lang="fr-CA"
            xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"
         >Calendrier de Mathilde Desruisseaux</C:calendar-description>

5.2.2.  CALDAV:calendar-timezone Property

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   Name: calendar-timezone

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Specifies a time zone on a calendar collection.

   Conformance: This property SHOULD NOT be returned by a PROPFIND DAV:
      allprop request (as defined in Section 12.14.1 of [RFC2518]).

   Description: The CALDAV:calendar-timezone property SHOULD be defined
      on all calendar collections to specify the time zone the server
      should rely on 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 overlaps a CALDAV:time-range specified in a CALDAV:
      calendar-query REPORT.  The server will also require this
      information to compute the proper FREEBUSY time period as "date
      with UTC time" in the VFREEBUSY component returned in a response
      to a CALDAV:free-busy-query REPORT request that takes into account
      calendar components scheduled with "date" values or "date with
      local time" values.

   Definition:

         <!ELEMENT calendar-timezone (#PCDATA)>
         PCDATA value: an iCalendar object with exactly one VTIMEZONE
               component.

5.2.3.  CALDAV:supported-calendar-component-set Property

   Name: supported-calendar-component-set

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Specifies the calendar component types (e.g., VEVENT, VTODO,
      etc.) that calendar object resources may contain in the calendar
      collection.

   Conformance: This property MUST be protected and SHOULD NOT be
      returned by a PROPFIND DAV:allprop request (as defined in Section
      12.14.1 of [RFC2518]).

   Description: The CALDAV:supported-calendar-component-set property MAY
      be defined on any calendar collection to specify restrictions on
      the calendar component types that calendar object resources may
      contain in a calendar collection.  Since this property is
      protected it cannot be changed by clients using a PROPPATCH
      request.  However, clients can initialize the value of this
      property when creating a new calendar collection with MKCALENDAR.
      The empty-element tag <C:comp name="VTIMEZONE"/> MUST only be
      specified if support for calendar object resources that only

      contain VTIMEZONE components is provided or desired.  Support for
      VTIMEZONE components in calendar object resources that contain
      VEVENT or VTODO components is always assumed.

   Definition:

         <!ELEMENT supported-calendar-component-set (comp*)>

   Example:

         <C:supported-calendar-component-set
             xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav">

           <C:comp name="VTODO"/>
         </C:supported-calendar-component-set>

5.2.4.  CALDAV:supported-calendar-data Property

   Name: supported-calendar-data

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Specifies restrictions on a calendar collection.

   Conformance: This property MUST be protected and SHOULD NOT be
      returned by a PROPFIND DAV:allprop request (as defined in Section
      12.14.1 of [RFC2518]).

   Description: The CALDAV:supported-calendar-data property MAY be
      defined on any calendar collection to specify the media type
      supported for the calendar object resources contained in a given
      calendar collection (e.g., iCalendar version 2.0).

   Definition:

         <!ELEMENT supported-calendar-data (calendar-data*)>

   Example:

         <C:supported-calendar-data
            xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav">
           <C:calendar-data content-type="text/calendar" version="2.0"/>
         </C:supported-calendar-data>

5.2.5.  Additional Precondition for PROPPATCH

   This specification creates an additional Precondition for the
   PROPPATCH method.  The precondition is:

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


      (CALDAV:valid-calendar-data): The time zone specified in CALDAV:
      calendar-timezone property MUST be a valid iCalendar object
      containing a single valid VTIMEZONE component.

5.3.  Creating Resources

   The creation of calendar collections and calendar object resources
   may be initiated by either a CalDAV client or by the CalDAV server.
   For example, a server might come pre-configured with a user's
   calendar collection, or the CalDAV client might request the server to
   create a new calendar collection for a given user.  Servers might
   populate events as calendar objects inside a calendar collection, or
   clients might request the server to create events.  Either way, both
   client and server MUST comply with the requirements in this document,
   and MUST understand objects appearing in calendar collections or
   according to the data model defined here.

5.3.1.  MKCALENDAR Method

   An HTTP request using the MKCALENDAR method creates a new calendar
   collection resource.  A server MAY restrict calendar collection
   creation to particular collections.

   Support for MKCALENDAR on the server is only RECOMMENDED and not
   REQUIRED because some calendar stores only support one calendar per
   user (or principal) and those are typically pre-created for each
   account.  However, servers and clients are strongly encouraged to
   support MKCALENDAR whenever possible to allow users to create
   multiple calendar collections to better help organize their data.

   Clients SHOULD use the DAV:displayname property for a human-readable
   name of the calendar.  Clients can either specify the value of the
   DAV:displayname property in the request body of the MKCALENDAR
   request, or alternatively issue a PROPPATCH request to change the
   DAV:displayname property to the appropriate value immediately after
   issuing the MKCALENDAR request.  Clients SHOULD NOT set the DAV:
   displayname property to be the same as any other calendar collection
   at the same URI "level".  When displaying calendar collections to
   users, clients SHOULD check the DAV:displayname property and use that
   value as the name of the calendar.  In the event that the DAV:
   displayname property is empty, the client MAY use the last part of
   the calendar collection URI as the name, however that path segment
   may be "opaque" and not represent any meaningful human-readable text.

   If a MKCALENDAR request fails, the server state preceding the request
   MUST be restored.

      If a request body is included, it MUST be a CALDAV:mkcalendar XML
      element.  Instruction processing MUST occur in the order
      instructions are received (i.e., from top to bottom).
      Instructions MUST either all be executed or none executed.  Thus
      if any error occurs during processing, all executed instructions
      MUST be undone and a proper error result returned.  Instruction
      processing details can be found in the definition of the DAV:set
      instruction in Section 12.13 of [RFC2518].

         <!ELEMENT mkcalendar (DAV:set)>

      If a response body for a successful request is included, it MUST
      be a CALDAV:mkcalendar-response XML element.

         <!ELEMENT mkcalendar-response ANY>

      The response MUST include a Cache-Control:no-cache header.

   Preconditions:

      (DAV:resource-must-be-null): A resource MUST NOT exist at the
      Request-URI;

      (CALDAV:calendar-collection-location-ok): The Request-URI MUST
      identify a location where a calendar collection can be created;

      (CALDAV:valid-calendar-data): The time zone specified in the
      CALDAV:calendar-timezone property MUST be a valid iCalendar object
      containing a single valid VTIMEZONE component;

      (DAV:needs-privilege): The DAV:bind privilege MUST be granted to
      the current user on the parent collection of the Request-URI.

   Postconditions:

      (CALDAV:initialize-calendar-collection): A new calendar collection
      exists at the Request-URI.  The DAV:resourcetype of the calendar
      collection MUST contain both DAV:collection and CALDAV:calendar
      XML elements.

5.3.1.1.  Status Codes

   The following are examples of response codes one would expect to get
   in a response to a MKCALENDAR request.  Note that this list is by no
   means exhaustive.

      201 (Created) - The calendar collection resource was created in
      its entirety;

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


      207 (Multi-Status) - The calendar collection resource was not
      created since one or more DAV:set instructions specified in the
      request body could not be processed successfully.  The following
      are examples of response codes one would expect to be used in a
      207 (Multi-Status) response in this situation:

         403 (Forbidden) - The client, for reasons the server chooses
         not to specify, cannot alter one of the properties;

         409 (Conflict) - The client has provided a value whose
         semantics are not appropriate for the property.  This includes
         trying to set read-only properties;

         424 (Failed Dependency) - The DAV:set instruction on the
         specified resource would have succeeded if it were not for the
         failure of another DAV:set instruction specified in the request
         body;

         423 (Locked) - The specified resource is locked and the client
         either is not a lock owner or the lock type requires a lock
         token to be submitted and the client did not submit it; and

         507 (Insufficient Storage) - The server did not have sufficient
         space to record the property;

      403 (Forbidden) - This indicates at least one of two conditions:
      1) the server does not allow the creation of calendar collections
      at the given location in its namespace, or 2) the parent
      collection of the Request-URI exists but cannot accept members;

      409 (Conflict) - A collection cannot be made at the Request-URI
      until one or more intermediate collections have been created;

      415 (Unsupported Media Type) - The server does not support the
      request type of the body; and

      507 (Insufficient Storage) - The resource does not have sufficient
      space to record the state of the resource after the execution of
      this method.

5.3.1.2.  Example: Successful MKCALENDAR request

   This example creates a calendar collection called /home/lisa/
   calendars/events/ on the server cal.example.com with specific values
   for the properties DAV:displayname, CALDAV:calendar-description,
   CALDAV:supported-calendar-component-set, and CALDAV:calendar-
   timezone.

5.3.2.  Creating Calendar Object Resources

   Clients populate calendar collections with calendar object resources.
   The URL for each calendar object resource is entirely arbitrary, and
   does not need to bear a specific relationship to the calendar object
   resource's iCalendar properties or other metadata.  New calendar
   object resources MUST be created with a PUT request targeted at an
   unmapped URI.  A PUT request targeted at a mapped URI updates an
   existing calendar object resource.

   When servers create new resources, it's not hard for the server to
   choose an unmapped URI.  It's slightly tougher for clients, because a
   client might not want to examine all resources in the collection, and
   might not want to lock the entire collection to ensure that a new
   resource isn't created with a name collision.  However, there is an
   HTTP feature to mitigate this.  If the client intends to create a new
   non-collection resource, such as a new VEVENT, the client SHOULD use
   the HTTP request header "If-None-Match: *" on the PUT request.  The
   Request-URI on the PUT request MUST include the target collection,
   where the resource is to be created, plus the name of the resource in
   the last path segment.  The "If-None-Match: *" request header ensures
   that the client will not inadvertently overwrite an existing
   resource, if the last path segment turned out to already be used.

   ".ifb".

5.3.2.1.  Additional Preconditions for PUT, COPY and MOVE

   This specification creates additional Preconditions for PUT, COPY and
   MOVE methods.  These preconditions apply:

      When a PUT operation of a calendar object resource into a calendar
      collection occurs.

      When a COPY or MOVE operation of a calendar object resource into a
      calendar collection occurs.

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   The new preconditions are:

      (CALDAV:supported-calendar-data): The resource submitted in the
      PUT request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request MUST be a
      supported media type (i.e., iCalendar) for calendar object
      resources;

      (CALDAV:valid-calendar-data): The resource submitted in the PUT
      request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request MUST be valid data
      for the media type being specified (i.e., MUST contain valid
      iCalendar data);

      (CALDAV:valid-calendar-object-resource): The resource submitted in
      the PUT request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request MUST obey
      all restrictions specified in Section 4.1 (e.g., calendar object
      resources MUST NOT contain more than one type of calendar
      component, calendar object resources MUST NOT specify the
      iCalendar METHOD property, etc.);

      (CALDAV:supported-calendar-component): The resource submitted in
      the PUT request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request MUST
      contain a type of calendar component that is supported in the
      targeted calendar collection;

      (CALDAV:no-uid-conflict): The resource submitted in the PUT
      request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request MUST NOT specify an
      iCalendar UID property value already in use in the targeted
      calendar collection or overwrite an existing calendar object
      resource with one that has a different UID property value.
      Servers SHOULD report the URL of the resource that is already
      making use of the same UID property value in the DAV:resource
      element;

                <!ELEMENT no-uid-conflict (DAV:resource)>

5.3.3.  Non-standard components, properties and parameters

   iCalendar provides a "standard mechanism for doing non-standard
   things".  This extension support allows implementers to make use of
   non-standard components, properties and parameters whose names are
   prefixed with the text "X-".

   Servers MUST support the use of non-standard components, properties
   and parameters in calendar object resources stored via the PUT
   method.

   Servers MAY reject any non-standard components, properties and
   parameters that have specific values in calendar object resources



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 22]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   stored via the PUT method.  This allows the server to enforce rules
   for its own "private" values that it may use.

5.3.4.  Calendar Object Resource Entity Tag

   The DAV:getetag property MUST be defined and set to a strong entity
   tag on all calendar object resources.

   A response to a GET request targeted at a calendar object resource
   MUST contain an ETag response header field indicating the current
   value of the strong entity tag of the calendar object resource.

   A response to a PUT request MAY contain an ETag response header field
   indicating the current value of the entity tag for the calendar
   object resource just created or modified.

   As required by [RFC2616], a response to a PUT request with a strong
   entity tag MUST mean that the server will return on a subsequent GET
   request a calendar object resource that is equivalent by octet
   equality.

   A response to a PUT request MUST NOT contain an ETag response header
   field if the server will return on a subsequent GET request a
   calendar object resource that is not equivalent by octet equality to
   the submitted calendar object resource.  In this case, the client
   SHOULD retrieve the new entity (and ETag) as a basis for further
   changes, rather than use the entity it had sent with the PUT request.


6.  Calendaring Access Control

6.1.  Calendaring Privilege

   CalDAV servers MUST support and adhere to the requirements of WebDAV
   ACL [RFC3744].  WebDAV ACL provides a framework for an extensible set
   of privileges that can be applied to WebDAV collections and ordinary
   resources.  CalDAV servers MUST also support the calendaring
   privilege defined in this section.

6.1.1.  CALDAV:read-free-busy Privilege

   Calendar users often wish to allow other users to see their busy time
   information, without viewing the other details of the calendar
   components (location, summary, attendees).  This allows a significant
   amount of privacy while still allowing other users to schedule
   meetings at times when the user is likely to be free.

   The CALDAV:read-free-busy privilege controls which calendar



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 23]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   collections and calendar object resources are examined when a CALDAV:
   free-busy-query REPORT request is processed (see Section 7.9).  This
   privilege can be granted on calendar collections or calendar object
   resources.  Servers MUST support this privilege on all calendar
   collections and calendar object resources.


           <!ELEMENT read-free-busy EMPTY>

   The CALDAV:read-free-busy privilege MUST be aggregated in the DAV:
   read privilege.  Servers MUST allow the CALDAV:read-free-busy to be
   granted without the DAV:read privilege being granted.

   Clients should note that when only the CALDAV:read-free-busy
   privilege has been granted on a resource, this does not imply access
   to GET, HEAD, OPTIONS and PROPFIND on the resource -- those
   operations are governed by the DAV:read privilege.

6.2.  Additional Principal Property

   This section defines an additional property for WebDAV principal
   resources as defined in [RFC3744].

6.2.1.  CALDAV:calendar-home-set Property

   Name: calendar-home-set

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Identifies the URL of any WebDAV collections that contain
      calendar collections owned by the associated principal resource.

   Conformance: This property MAY be protected and SHOULD NOT be
      returned by a PROPFIND DAV:allprop request (as defined in Section
      12.14.1 of [RFC2518]).  Support for this property is RECOMMENDED.

   Description: The CALDAV:calendar-home-set property is meant to allow
      users to easily find the calendar collections owned by the
      principal.  Typically, users will group all the calendar
      collections that they own under a common collection.  This
      property specify the URL of collections that either are calendar
      collections or ordinary collections that have child or descendant
      calendar collections owned by the principal.

   Definition:

         <!ELEMENT calendar-home-set (DAV:href*)>

         <D:href>http://cal.example.com/home/bernard/calendars/</D:href>
       </C:calendar-home-set>


7.  Calendaring Reports

   This section defines the REPORTs that CalDAV servers MUST support on
   calendar collections and calendar object resources.

   CalDAV servers MUST advertise support for these REPORTs on all
   calendar collections and calendar object resources with the DAV:
   supported-report-set property defined in Section 3.1.5 of [RFC3253].
   CalDAV servers MAY also advertise support for these REPORTs on
   ordinary collections.

   Some of these REPORTs allow calendar data (from possibly multiple
   resources) to be returned.

7.1.  REPORT Method

   The REPORT method (defined in Section 3.6 of [RFC3253]) provides an
   extensible mechanism for obtaining information about one or more
   resources.  Unlike the PROPFIND method, which returns the value of
   one or more named properties, the REPORT method can involve more
   complex processing.  REPORT is valuable in cases where the server has
   access to all of the information needed to perform the complex
   request (such as a query), and where it would require multiple
   requests for the client to retrieve the information needed to perform
   the same request.

   CalDAV servers MUST support the DAV:expand-property REPORT defined in
   Section 3.8 of [RFC3253].

7.2.  Ordinary collections

   Servers MAY support the REPORTs defined in this document on ordinary
   collections, that is, collections that are not calendar collections.
   In computing responses to the REPORTs defined in this document,
   servers MUST only consider calendar object resources contained in
   calendar collections, subject also to the value of the Depth request
   header.

7.3.  Date and floating time

   iCalendar provides a way to specify DATE and DATE-TIME values that
   are not bound to any time zone in particular, hereafter called
   "floating date" and "floating time" respectively.  These values are
   used to represent the same day, hour, minute and second value
   regardless of which time zone is being observed.  For instance, the
   DATE value "20051111", represents November 11th, 2005 in no specific
   time zone, while the DATE-TIME value "20051111T111100" represents
   November 11th, 2005 at 11:11 AM in no specific time zone.

   CalDAV servers may need to convert "floating date" and "floating
   time" values in date with UTC time values in the processing of
   calendaring REPORT requests.

   For the CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT, CalDAV servers MUST rely on the
   value of the CALDAV:timezone XML element, if specified as part of the
   request body, to perform the proper conversion of "floating date" and
   "floating time" values to date with UTC time values.  If the CALDAV:
   timezone XML element is not specified in the request body, CalDAV
   servers MUST rely on the value of the CALDAV:calendar-timezone
   property, if defined, else the CalDAV servers MAY rely on the time
   zone of their choice.

   For the CALDAV:free-busy-query REPORT, CalDAV servers MUST rely on
   the value of the CALDAV:calendar-timezone property, if defined, to
   compute the proper FREEBUSY time period value as date with UTC time,
   for calendar components scheduled with "floating date" or "floating
   time".  If the CALDAV:calendar-timezone property is not defined,
   CalDAV servers MAY rely on the time zone of their choice.

7.4.  Time range filtering

   Some of the reports defined in this section can be targeted at
   calendar object resources within a specific time range.  To determine
   whether a calendar object resource matches the time range filter
   element, the start and end times for the particular type of object
   are determined and then compared to the requested time range.  If the
   start and end overlap the requested time range, then the calendar
   object resource matches the filter element.  The rules defined in
   [RFC2445] for determining the actual start and end times of calendar
   components MUST be used, along with the rules for determining overlap
   specified in Section 9.8 of this document.

   When such time range filtering is used, special consideration must be
   given to recurring calendar components such as VEVENT and VTODO
   components.  The server MUST expand recurring components to determine
   whether any recurrence instances overlap the specified time range.



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 26]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   If one or more recurrence instances overlap the time range, then the
   calendar object resource matches the filter element.

7.5.  Returned calendar components

   In addition, CalDAV provides three ways to determine which components
   of a calendar object resource are returned from the recurrence set.
   The three options are:

   1.  Return all the calendar components contained in the calendar
       object resources.  This includes the component that defines the
       recurrence set, referred to as the "master component", as well as
       the components that define exceptions to the recurrence set,
       referred to as the "overridden components".  According to the
       rules defined in Section 3.2 all recurrence instances of a
       recurring component will always be contained in the same calendar
       object resource.

   2.  Return the "master component" and only the "overridden
       components" that currently or originally overlap the specified
       time range.  This avoids the need for clients to process
       "overridden components" outside of the time range they are
       interested in.  See Section 9.5.6.

   3.  Return "expanded" calendar components that represent only those
       recurrence instances in the recurrence set that overlap the
       specified time range.  This avoids the need for clients to do any
       recurrence processing themselves as the server does the expansion
       for them and provides the list of instances.  See Section 9.5.5.

7.6.  Non-standard components, properties and parameters

   Servers MUST support the use of non-standard component, property or
   parameter names in the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element in
   calendaring REPORT requests to allow clients to request that non-
   standard components, properties and parameters be returned in the
   calendar data provided in the response.

   Servers MAY support the use of non-standard component, property or
   parameter names in the CALDAV:comp-filter, CALDAV:prop-filter and
   CALDAV:param-filter XML elements specified in the CALDAV:filter XML
   element of calendaring REPORT requests.

   Servers MUST fail with the CALDAV:supported-filter precondition if a
   calendaring REPORT request uses a CALDAV:comp-filter, CALDAV:prop-
   filter or CALDAV:param-filter XML element that makes reference to a
   non-standard component, property or parameter name which the server
   does not support queries on.

7.7.  CALDAV:calendar-query Report

   The CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT performs a search for all calendar
   object resources that match a specified filter.  The response of this
   REPORT will contain all the WebDAV properties and calendar object
   resource data specified in the request.  In the case of the CALDAV:
   calendar-data XML element, one can explicitly specify the calendar
   components and properties that should be returned in the calendar
   object resource data that matches the filter.

   The format of this REPORT is modeled on the PROPFIND method.  The
   request and response bodies of the CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT use
   XML elements that are also used by PROPFIND.  In particular the
   request can include XML elements to request WebDAV properties to be
   returned.  When that occurs the response should follow the same
   behavior as PROPFIND with respect to the DAV:multistatus response
   elements used to return specific property results.  For instance, a
   request to retrieve the value of a property which does not exist is
   an error and MUST be noted with a response XML element which contains
   a 404 (Not Found) status value.

   Support for the CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT is REQUIRED.

   Marshalling:

      The request body MUST be a CALDAV:calendar-query XML element as
      defined in Section 9.4.

      The response body for a successful request MUST be a DAV:
      multistatus XML element (i.e., the response uses the same format
      as the response for PROPFIND).  In the case where there are no
      response elements, the returned DAV:multistatus XML element is
      empty.

      The response body for a successful CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT
      request MUST contain a DAV:response element for each iCalendar
      object that matched the search filter.  Calendar data is being
      returned in the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element inside the DAV:
      propstat XML element.

   Preconditions:

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

      (CALDAV:valid-filter): The CALDAV:filter XML element specified in
      the REPORT request MUST be valid.  For instance, a CALDAV:filter

      cannot nest a <C:comp name="VEVENT"> element in a <C:comp
      name="VTODO"> element, or a CALDAV:filter cannot nest a <C:time-
      range start="..." end="..."> element in a <C:prop name="SUMMARY">
      element.

      (CALDAV:supported-filter): The CALDAV:comp-filter, CALDAV:prop-
      filter and CALDAV:param-filter XML elements used in the CALDAV:
      filter XML element in the REPORT request only makes reference to
      components, properties and parameters on which queries are
      supported by the server.  Servers SHOULD report the CALDAV:comp-
      filter, CALDAV:prop-filter or CALDAV:param-filter for which it
      does not provide support.

            <!ELEMENT supported-filter (comp-filter*,
                                        prop-filter*,
                                        param-filter*)>

      (CALDAV:valid-calendar-data): The time zone specified in the
      REPORT request MUST be a valid iCalendar object containing a
      single valid VTIMEZONE component.

   Postconditions:

      (DAV:number-of-matches-within-limits): The number of matching
      calendar object resources must fall within server-specific,
      predefined limits.  For example, this condition might be triggered
      if a search specification would cause the return of an extremely
      large number of responses.

7.7.1.  Example: Partial retrieval of events by time range

   In this example, the client requests the server to return specific
   components and properties of the VEVENT components that overlap the
   time range from January 4th, 2006 at 00:00:00 AM UTC to January 5th,
   2006 at 00:00:00 AM UTC.  In addition the DAV:getetag property is
   also requested and returned as part of the response.  Note that the
   first calendar object returned is a recurring event whose first
   instance lies outside of the requested time range, but whose third
   instance does overlap the time range.  Note that due to the CALDAV:
   calendar-data element restrictions, the DTSTAMP property in VEVENT
   components has not been returned, and only the only property returned
   in the VCALENDAR object is VERSION.

7.7.2.  Example: Partial retrieval of recurring events

   In this example, the client requests the server to return VEVENT
   components that overlap the time range from January 3rd, 2006 at 00:
   00:00 AM UTC to January 5th, 2006 at 00:00:00 AM UTC.  Use of the
   CALDAV:limit-recurrence-set element causes the server to only return
   overridden recurrence components that overlap the time range
   specified in that element, or that affect other instances that
   overlap the time range (e.g., in the case of a "THISANDFUTURE"
   behavior).  In this example the first overridden component in the
   matching resource is returned but the second one is not.

   instance calendar components.  Use of the CALDAV:expand element
   causes the server to only return overridden recurrence instances that
   overlap the time range specified in that element.

7.7.4.  Example: Partial retrieval of stored free busy components

   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 2nd, 2006 at 00:00:00 AM UTC (inclusively) to
   January 3rd, 2006 at 00:00:00 AM 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.

   components that include an "X-ABC-GUID" property with a value
   matching "ABC".  However, the server does not support querying that
   non-standard property and instead returns and error response.

7.8.  CALDAV:calendar-multiget Report

   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 7.7), 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 calendar-multiget REPORT is REQUIRED.

   Marshalling:

      The request body MUST be a CALDAV:calendar-multiget XML element
      (see Section 9.9).  If the Request-URI is a collection resource,
      then the DAV:href elements MUST refer to resources within that
      collection, and they MAY refer to 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): The attributes "content-type"
      and "version" of the CALDAV:calendar-data XML elements specify a
      media type supported by the server for calendar object resources.

   Postconditions:

      None.

7.8.1.  Example: Successful CALDAV:calendar-multiget Report

   In this example, the client requests the server to return specific
   properties of the VEVENT components referenced by specific URIs.  In
   addition the DAV:getetag property is also requested and returned as
   part of the response.  Note that in this example, the resource at
   http://cal.example.com/bernard/work/mtg1.ics does not exist,
   resulting in an error status response.

7.9.  CALDAV:free-busy-query Report

   The CALDAV:free-busy-query REPORT generates a VFREEBUSY component
   containing free busy information for all the calendar object
   resources targeted by the request and which have the CALDAV:read-
   free-busy or DAV:read privilege granted to the current user.

   Only VEVENT components without a TRANSP property or with the TRANSP
   property set to "OPAQUE", and VFREEBUSY components SHOULD be
   considered to generate the free busy time information.

   In the case of VEVENT components, the free or busy time type (FBTYPE)
   of the FREEBUSY properties in the returned VFREEBUSY component SHOULD
   be derived from the value of the TRANSP and STATUS properties as
   outlined in the table below:

   Duplicate busy time periods with the same FBTYPE parameter value
   SHOULD NOT be specified in the returned VFREEBUSY component.  Servers
   SHOULD coalesce consecutive or overlapping busy time period of the
   same type.  Busy time periods with different FBTYPE parameter values
   MAY overlap.

   Support for the CALDAV:free-busy-query REPORT is REQUIRED.

   Marshalling:

      The request body MUST be a CALDAV:free-busy-query XML element (see
      Section 9.10, which MUST contain exactly one CALDAV:time-range XML
      element, as defined in Section 9.8.

      The request MAY include a Depth header.  If no Depth header is
      included, Depth:0 is assumed.

      The response body for a successful request MUST be an iCalendar
      object that contains exactly one VFREEBUSY component that
      describes the busy time intervals for the calendar object
      resources containing VEVENT or VFREEBUSY components that satisfy
      the Depth value and for which the current user is at least granted
      the CALDAV:read-free-busy privilege.  If no calendar object
      resources are found to satisfy these conditions a VFREEBUSY
      component with no FREEBUSY property MUST be returned.  This REPORT
      only returns busy time information.  Free time information can be
      inferred from the returned busy time information.

      If the current user is not granted the CALDAV:read-free-busy or
      DAV:read privileges on the Request-URI, the CALDAV:free-busy-query
      REPORT request MUST fail and return a 404 (Not Found) status
      value.  This restriction will prevent users from discovering URLs
      of resources for which they are only granted the CALDAV:read-free-
      busy privilege.

      The CALDAV:free-busy-query REPORT request can only be run against
      a collection (either a regular collection or a calendar
      collection).  An attempt to run the report on a calendar object
      resource MUST fail and return a 403 (Forbidden) status value.

   Preconditions:

      None.

   Postconditions:

      (DAV:number-of-matches-within-limits): The number of matching
      calendar object resources must fall within server-specific,
      predefined limits.  For example, this postcondition might fail if
      the specified CALDAV:time-range would cause an extremely large
      number calendar object resources to be considered to compute the
      response.

7.9.1.  Example: Successful CALDAV:free-busy-query Report

   In this example, the client requests the server to return free busy
   information on the calendar collection /bernard/work/, between 9:00
   AM and 5:00 PM EST (2:00 PM and 10:00 PM UTC) on the 4th January
   2006.  The server responds indicating two busy time intervals of one
   hour, one of which is tentative.

8.  Guidelines

8.1.  Client-to-client Interoperability

   There are a number of actions clients can take which will be legal
   (the server will not return errors) but which can degrade
   interoperability with other client implementations accessing the same
   data.  For example, a recurrence rule could be replaced with a set of
   recurrence dates, a single recurring event could be replaced with a
   set of independent resources to represent each recurrence, or the
   start/end time values can be translated from the original time zone
   to another time zone.  Although this advice amounts to iCalendar
   interoperability best practices and is not limited only to CalDAV
   usage, interoperability problems are likely to be more evident in
   CalDAV use cases.

8.2.  Synchronization Operations

   WebDAV already provides functionality required to synchronize a
   collection or set of collections, make changes offline, and a simple
   way to resolve conflicts when reconnected.  ETags are the key to
   making this work, but these are not required of all WebDAV servers.
   Since offline functionality is more important to calendar
   applications than to some other WebDAV applications, CalDAV servers
   MUST support ETags as specified in Section 5.3.4.






Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 57]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


8.2.1.  Use of Reports

8.2.1.1.  Restrict the Time Range

   The REPORTs provided in CalDAV can be used by clients to optimize
   their performance in terms of network bandwidth usage, and resource
   consumption on the local client machine.  Both are certainly major
   considerations for mobile or handheld devices with limited capacity,
   but they are also relevant to desktop client applications in cases
   where the calendar collections contain large amounts of data.

   Typically clients present calendar data to users in views that span a
   finite time interval, so whenever possible clients should only
   retrieve calendar components from the server using CALDAV:calendar-
   query REPORT combined with a CALDAV:time-range element to limit the
   set of returned components to just those needed to populate the
   current view.

8.2.1.2.  Synchronize by Time Range

   Typically in a calendar, historical data (events, to-dos etc. that
   have completed prior to the current date) do not change, though they
   may be deleted.  As a result, a client can speed up the
   synchronization process by only considering data for the present time
   and the future up to a reasonable limit (e.g., one week, one month).
   If the user then tries to examine a portion of the calendar outside
   of the range that has been synchronized, the client can perform
   another synchronization operation on the new time interval being
   examined.  This "just-in-time" synchronization can minimize bandwidth
   for common user interaction behaviors.

8.2.1.3.  Synchronization Process

   If a client wants to support calendar data synchronization, as
   opposed to downloading calendar data each time it is needed, it needs
   to cache the calendar object resource's URI and ETag along with the
   actual calendar data.  While the URI remains static for the lifetime
   of the calendar object resource, the ETag will change with each
   successive change to the calendar object resource.  Thus to
   synchronize a local data cache with the server, the client can first
   fetch the URI/ETag pairs for the time interval being considered, and
   compare those results with the cached data.  Any cached component
   whose ETag differs from that on the server needs to be refreshed.

   In order to properly detect the changes between the server and client
   data, the client will need to keep a record of which calendar object
   resources have been created, changed or deleted since the last
   synchronization operation so that it can reconcile those changes with



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 58]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   the data on the server.

   Here's an example of how to do that:

   The client issues a CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT request for a
   specific time range, and asks for only the DAV:getetag property to be
   returned:

   REPORT /bernard/work/ HTTP/1.1
   Host: cal.example.com
   Depth: 1
   Content-Type: application/xml; charset="utf-8"
   Content-Length: xxxx

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <C:calendar-query xmlns:D="DAV:"
                     xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav">
     <D:prop>
       <D:getetag/>
     </D:prop>
     <C:filter>
       <C:comp-filter name="VCALENDAR">
         <C:comp-filter name="VEVENT">
           <C:time-range start="20040902T000000Z"
                           end="20040903T000000Z"/>
         </C:comp-filter>
       </C:comp-filter>
     </C:filter>
   </C:calendar-query>

   The client then uses the results to determine which calendar object
   resources have changed, been created or deleted on the server and how
   those relate to locally cached calendar object resources that may
   have changed, been created or deleted.  If the client determines that
   there are calendar object resources on the server that need to be
   fetched, the client issues a CALDAV:calendar-multiget REPORT request
   to fetch their calendar data:

     <D:href>/bernard/work/mtg1.ics</D:href>
   </C:calendar-multiget>

8.2.2.  Restrict the Properties Returned

   Clients may not need all the calendar properties of a calendar object
   resource when presenting information to the user.  Since some
   calendar property values can be large (e.g., ATTACH or ATTENDEE)
   clients can choose to restrict the calendar properties to be returned
   in a calendaring REPORT request to those it knows it will use.

   However, if a client needs to make a change to a calendar object
   resource, it can only change the entire calendar object resource via
   a PUT request.  There is currently no way to incrementally make a
   change to a set of calendar properties of a calendar object resource.
   As a result the client will have to get the entire calendar object
   resource that is being changed.

8.3.  Use of Locking

   WebDAV locks can be used to prevent two clients modifying the same
   resource from either overwriting each others' changes (though that
   problem can also be solved by using ETags) or wasting time making
   changes that will conflict with another set of changes.  In a multi-
   user calendar system, an interactive calendar client could lock an
   event while the user is editing the event, and unlock the event when
   the user finishes or cancels.  Locks can also be used to prevent
   changes while data is being reorganized.  For example, a calendar
   client might lock two calendar collections prior to moving a bunch of
   calendar resources from one to another.

   Clients are responsible for requesting a lock timeout period that is
   appropriate to the use case.  When the user explicitly decides to
   reserve a resource and prevent other changes, a long timeout might be



Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 60]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   appropriate, but in cases when the client automatically decides to
   lock the resource the timeout should be short (and the client can
   always refresh the lock should it need to).  A short lock timeout
   means that if the client is unable to remove the lock, the other
   calendar users aren't prevented from making changes.

8.4.  Finding calendars

   Much of the time a calendar client (or agent) will discover a new
   calendar's location by being provided directly with the URL.  E.g., a
   user will type his or her own calendar location into client
   configuration information, or copy and paste a URL from email into
   the calendar application.  The client need only confirm that the URL
   points to a resource which is a calendar collection.  The client may
   also be able to browse WebDAV collections to find calendar
   collections.

   The choice of HTTP URLs means that calendar object resources are
   backward compatible with existing software, but does have the
   disadvantage that existing software does not usually know to look at
   the OPTIONS response to that URL to determine what can be done with
   it.  This is somewhat of a barrier for WebDAV usage as well as with
   CalDAV usage.  This specification does not offer a way through this
   other than making the information available in the OPTIONS response
   should this be requested.

   For calendar sharing and scheduling use cases, one might wish to find
   the calendar belonging to another user.  If the other user has a
   calendar in the same repository, that calendar can be found by using
   the principal namespace required by WebDAV ACL support.  For other
   cases, the authors have no universal solution but implementors can
   consider whether to use vCard [RFC2426] or LDAP [RFC2251] standards
   together with calendar attributes [RFC2739].

   Because CalDAV requires servers to support WebDAV ACL [RFC3744]
   including principal namespaces, and with the addition of the CALDAV:
   calendar-home-set property, there are a couple options for CalDAV
   clients to find one's own calendar or another user's calendar.

   In this case, a DAV:principal-match REPORT is used to find a named
   property (the CALDAV:calendar-home-set) on the Principal-URL of the
   current user.  Using this, a WebDAV client can learn "who am I" and
   "where are my calendars".  The REPORT request body looks like this:








Daboo, et al.            Expires August 25, 2006               [Page 61]


Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <D:principal-match xmlns:D="DAV:">
     <D:self/>
     <D:prop>
       <C:calendar-home-set
          xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/>
     </D:prop>
   </D:principal-match>

   To find other users calendars, the DAV:principal-property-search
   REPORT can be used to filter on some properties and return others.
   To search for a calendar owned by a user named "Laurie", the REPORT
   request body would look like this:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <D:principal-property-search xmlns:D="DAV:">
     <D:property-search>
       <D:prop>
         <D:displayname/>
       </D:prop>
       <D:match>Laurie</D:match>
     </D:property-search>
     <D:prop>
       <C:calendar-home-set
          xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/>
       <D:displayname/>
     </D:prop>
   </D:principal-property-search>

   The server performs a case-sensitive or caseless search for a
   matching string subset of "Laurie" within the DAV:displayname
   property.  Thus, the server might return "Laurie Dusseault", "Laurier
   Desruisseaux" or "Wilfrid Laurier" all as matching DAV:displayname
   values, and the calendars for each of these.

8.5.  Storing and Using Attachments

   CalDAV clients MAY create attachments in calendar components either
   as inline or external.  This section contains some guidelines on
   creating and managing attachments.

8.5.1.  Inline attachments

   CalDAV clients MUST support inline attachments as specified in
   iCalendar [RFC2445].  CalDAV servers MUST support inline attachments,
   so clients can rely on being able to create attachments this way.  On
   the other hand, inline attachments have some drawbacks:

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   o  Servers MAY impose limitations on the size of calendar object
      resources (i.e., refusing PUT requests of very large iCalendar
      objects).

   o  Servers MAY impose storage quota limitations on calendar
      collections (See [I-D.ietf-webdav-quota]).

   o  Any change to a calendar object resource containing an attachment
      requires the entire attachment to be re-uploaded.

   o  Clients synchronizing a changed calendar object resource have to
      download the entire calendar object resource even if the
      attachment is unchanged.

8.5.2.  External attachments

   CalDAV clients MUST support external attachments: if the client
   accesses any calendar object resource it MUST be capable of also
   accessing the external attachment if one exists.  An external
   attachment could be:

   o  In a collection in the calendar collection containing the calendar
      object resource;

   o  Somewhere else in the same repository that hosts the calendar
      collection; or

   o  On an HTTP or FTP server elsewhere.

   CalDAV servers MAY provide support for child collections in calendar
   collections.  CalDAV servers MAY allow the MKCOL method to create
   child collections in calendar collections.  Child collections of
   calendar collections MAY contain any type of resource except calendar
   collections which they MUST NOT contain.  Some CalDAV servers won't
   allow child collections in calendar collections, and it may be
   possible on such a server to discover other locations where
   attachments can be stored.

   Clients are entirely responsible for maintaining reference
   consistency with calendar components that link to external
   attachments.  A client deleting a calendar component with an external
   attachment might therefore also delete the attachment if that's
   appropriate, however appropriateness can be very hard to determine.
   A new component might easily reference some pre-existing Web resource
   which is intended to have independent existence from the calendar
   component (the "attachment" could be a major proposal to be discussed
   in a meeting, for instance).  Best practices will probably emerge and
   should probably be documented but for now clients should be wary of

   engaging in aggressive "cleanup" of external attachments.  A client
   could involve the user in making decisions about removing
   unreferenced documents, or a client could be conservative in only
   deleting attachments it had created.

   Also, clients are responsible for consistency of permissions when
   using external attachments.  One reason for servers to support the
   storage of attachments within child collections of calendar
   collections is that ACL inheritance might make it easier to grant the
   same permissions to attachments that are granted on the calendar
   collection.  Otherwise, it can be very difficult to keep permissions
   synchronized.  With attachments stored on separate repositories, it
   can be impossible to keep permissions consistent -- the two
   repositories may not support the same permissions or have the same
   set of principals.  Some systems have used tickets or other anonymous
   access control mechanisms to provide partially satisfactory solutions
   to these kinds of problems.

8.6.  Storing and Using Alarms

   Note that all CalDAV calendar collections (including those which the
   user might treat as public or group calendars) can contain alarm
   information on events and to-dos.  Users can synchronize a calendar
   between multiple devices and decide to have alarms execute on a
   different device than the device that created the alarm.  Not all
   alarm action types are completely interoperable (e.g., those which
   name a sound file to play).

      When the action is "AUDIO", and the client is configured to
      execute the alarm, the client SHOULD play the suggested sound if
      it's available or play another sound, but SHOULD NOT rewrite the
      alarm just to replace the suggested sound with a sound that's
      locally available.

      When the action is "DISPLAY", and the client is configured to
      execute the alarm, the client SHOULD execute a display alarm by
      displaying either according to the suggested description or some
      reasonable replacement, but SHOULD NOT rewrite the alarm for its
      own convenience.

      When the action is "EMAIL", and the client is incapable of sending
      email, it SHOULD ignore the alarm but MUST continue to synchronize
      the alarm itself.

      This specification makes no recommendations about executing alarm
      of type PROCEDURE except to note that clients are advised to take
      care to avoid creating security holes by executing these.

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   Non-interoperable alarm information (e.g., should somebody define a
   color to be used in a display alarm) should be put in non-standard
   properties inside the VALARM component in order to keep the basic
   alarm usable on all devices.

   Clients that allow changes to calendar object resources MUST
   synchronize the alarm data that already exists in the resources.
   Clients MAY execute alarms that are downloaded in this fashion,
   possibly based on user preference.  If a client is only doing read
   operations on a calendar and there is no risk of losing alarm
   information, then the client MAY discard alarm information.

   This specification makes no attempt to provide multi-user alarms on
   group calendars or to find out who an alarm is intended for.
   Addressing those issues might require extensions to iCalendar, for
   example to store alarms per-user or indicate which user a VALARM was
   intended for.  In the meantime, clients might maximize
   interoperability by generally not uploading alarm information to
   public, group or resource calendars.

      calendaring REPORT.

   Description: When nested in the CALDAV:supported-calendar-data
      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 normalizes 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:calendar-data XML element is specified in requests
      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 it is not returned in PROPFIND
      responses nor used in PROPPATCH requests.

   Description: The "name" attribute specifies the name of the calendar
      property to return (e.g., "ATTENDEE").  The "novalue" attribute
      can be used by clients to request that the actual value of the
      property not be returned (if the "novalue" attribute is set to
      "yes").  In that case the server will return just the iCalendar
      property name and any iCalendar parameters and a trailing ":"
      without the subsequent value data.

      determine if a recurrence instance intersects the specified time
      range.  Recurring components, other than the initial instance,
      MUST include a RECURRENCE-ID property indicating which instance
      they refer to.  The returned calendar components MUST NOT use
      recurrence properties (i.e., EXDATE, EXRULE, RDATE and RRULE) and
      MUST NOT have reference to or include VTIMEZONE components.  Date
      and local time with reference to time zone information MUST be

9.6.2.  CALDAV:prop-filter XML Element

   Name: prop-filter

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Specifies search criteria on calendar properties.

   Description: The CALDAV:prop-filter XML element specifies a search
      criteria on a specific calendar property (e.g., CATEGORIES) in the
      scope of a given CALDAV:comp-filter.  A calendar component is said
      to match a CALDAV:prop-filter if it defines the property specified
      by the "name" attribute, and that it matches the CALDAV:time-range
      or CALDAV:text-match conditions if specified, and that any CALDAV:
      param-filter child elements also matches.

   Definition:

         <!ATTLIST prop-filter name CDATA #REQUIRED>
         name value: a calendar property name (e.g., "ATTENDEE")

9.6.3.  CALDAV:param-filter XML Element

   Name: param-filter

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Limits the search to specific parameter values.

   Description: The CALDAV:param-filter XML element specifies a search
      criteria on a specific calendar property parameter (e.g.,
      PARTSTAT) in the scope of a given CALDAV:prop-filter.  A calendar
      property is said to match a CALDAV:param-filter if it defines the
      parameter specified by the "name" attribute, and that it matches
      the CALDAV:text-match condition if specified.

9.6.4.  CALDAV:text-match XML Element

   Name: text-match

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Specifies a substring match on a property or parameter
      value.

   Description: The CALDAV:text-match XML element specifies text used
      for a substring match against the property or parameter value
      specified in a calendaring REPORT request.  The "caseless"
      attribute indicates whether the match is case-sensitive (value set
      to "no") or case-insensitive (value set to "yes").  The default
      value is server-specified.  Caseless matching SHOULD be
      implemented as defined in section 5.18 of the Unicode Standard
      ([UNICODE4]).  Support for the "caseless" attribute is REQUIRED.
      A server MAY ignore the caseless attribute when applied to
      enumerated iCalendar property or parameter values, and default to
      caseless matching for those values, since they are defined as
      being case-insensitive in iCalendar.

   Definition:

9.7.  CALDAV:timezone XML Element

   Name: timezone

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

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

   Description: The CALDAV:timezone XML element specifies that for a
      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 intersect a CALDAV:time-range
      specified in a CALDAV:calendar-query REPORT.

   Definition:

         <!ELEMENT timezone (#PCDATA)>
         PCDATA value: an iCalendar object with exactly one VTIMEZONE

9.8.  CALDAV:time-range XML Element

   Name: time-range

   Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Purpose: Specifies a time range to limit the set of calendar
      components returned by the server.

   Description: The CALDAV:time-range XML element specifies that for a
      given calendaring REPORT request the server MUST only return the
      calendar object resources that, depending on the context, have a
      component or property or parameter whose value intersect a
      specified time range.  The "start" attribute specifies the
      inclusive start of the time range, and the "end" attribute
      specifies the non-inclusive end of the time range.  Both
      attributes are specified as "date with UTC time" value.  While the
      "start" and "end" attributes are not required to allow time ranges
      opened at one end, at least one of them MUST be specified in the
      CALDAV:time-range element.

      A VEVENT component overlaps a given time range if:

         (DTSTART <= start AND DTEND > start) OR
         (DTSTART <= start AND DTSTART+DURATION > start) OR
         (DTSTART >= start AND DTSTART < end) OR
         (DTEND   > start AND DTEND <= end)

      A VEVENT component with no DTSTART and DTEND properties does not
      overlap any time range.

      A VTODO component overlaps a given time range if:

         (DTSTART <= start AND DUE >= start) OR
         (DTSTART <= start AND DTSTART+DURATION > start) OR
         (DTSTART >= start AND DTSTART < end) OR
         (DUE     >= start AND DUE < end)

      A VTODO component with no DTSTART and DUE properties does not
      overlap any time range.

      A VJOURNAL component overlaps a given time range if:

         DTSTART >= start AND DTSTART < end

      A VJOURNAL component with no DTSTART property does not overlap any
      time range.

      A VFREEBUSY component overlaps a given time range if for any of
      its FREEBUSY property value the following condition holds:

         freebusy-period-start >= start AND freebusy-period-end < end

      A VFREEBUSY component with no FREEBUSY property does not overlap
      any time range.

      A VALARM component overlaps a given time range if:

         trigger-time >= start AND trigger-time < end

      A VALARM component can be defined such that it triggers
      repeatedly.  Such a VALARM component is said to overlap a given
      time range if at least one of its trigger overlap the time range.

      The calendar properties COMPLETED, CREATED, DTSTAMP and LAST-
      MODIFIED overlaps a given time range

         date-time >= start AND date-time < end

      The semantic of CALDAV:time-range is not defined for any other
      calendar properties.

10.  Internationalization Considerations

   CalDAV allows internationalized strings to be stored and retrieved
   for the description of calendar collections (see Section 5.2.1).


11.  Security Considerations

   HTTP protocol transactions are sent in the clear over the network
   unless protection from snooping is negotiated.  This can be
   accomplished by use of TLS as defined in [RFC2818].  In particular,
   HTTP Basic authentication MUST NOT be used unless TLS is in effect.

Internet-Draft                   CalDAV                    February 2006


   Servers MUST take adequate precautions to ensure malicious clients
   cannot consume excessive server resources (CPU, memory, disk, etc.)
   through carefully crafted reports.  For example, a client could
   upload an event with a recurrence rule that specifies a recurring
   event occurring every second for the next 100 years which would
   result in approximately 3 x 10^9 instances!  A REPORT that asks for
   recurrences to be expanded over that range would likely constitute a
   denial-of-service attack on the server.

   When creating new resources (including calendar collections), clients
   MUST ensure that the resource name (the last path segment of the
   resource URI) assigned to the new resource does not expose any data
   from within the iCalendar resource itself and information about the
   nature of a calendar collection.  This is required to ensure that the
   presence of a specific iCalendar component or nature of components in
   a collection cannot be inferred based on the name of a resource.

   Security considerations described in iCalendar [RFC2445] and iTIP
   [RFC2446] are also applicable to CalDAV.

   Beyond these, CalDAV does not raise any security considerations that
   are not present in HTTP [RFC2616] and WebDAV [RFC2518], [RFC3253],
   [RFC3744], as discussed in those documents.


12.  IANA Consideration

   This document uses one new URN to identify a new XML namespace.  The
   URN conforms to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].

12.1.  Namespace Registration

   Registration request for the CalDAV namespace:

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

   Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
   document.

   XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
