Best practices for webcal clients and servers #37

Open

Description

@dmfs

As a developer of a server which can render webcal feeds or of a client which can consume webcal feeds, I'd like to have some guidance. Possible topics:

  • use and meaning of iCalendar METHOD property
  • content-type
  • Etags
  • if-none-match header
  • subscription upgrade
  • best practices for clients
    • how to "discover" good behavior on a server
    • how to deal with bad behaving servers
  • common pitfalls
    • why not to return "current time" as "last modified"

    I would say, that beyond the last point, I assume this issue to be solved by copying Everts documentation about how to build a Card/CalDAV client to DEVGUIDE with the latest commit.

    @dmfs : What's your opinion?

    My request was about Webcal feeds, not CalDAV. I didn't check the new content yet, but afaik Evert didn't address webcal feeds.
