Best practices for webcal clients and servers #37

Open dmfs opened 7 years ago

dmfs commented 7 years ago

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.
