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 (collections that are not calendar collections), in addition to calendar collections or calendar object resources. In computing responses to the reports on ordinary collections, servers MUST only consider calendar object resources contained in calendar collections that are targeted by the REPORT request, based on 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 11, 2005 in no specific time zone, while the DATE-TIME value "20051111T111100" represents November 11, 2005, at 11:11 A.M. 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, or 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 include a time range filter that is used to restrict the set of calendar object resources returned to just those that overlap the specified time range. The time range filter can be applied to a calendar component as a whole, or to specific calendar component properties with DATE or DATE-TIME value types. To determine whether a calendar object resource matches the time range filter element, the start and end times for the targeted component or property are determined and then compared to the requested time range. If there is an overlap with 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, and these are fully enumerated in Section 9.9 of this document.
When such time range filtering is used, special consideration must be given to recurring calendar components, such as VEVENT and VTODO. The server MUST expand recurring components to determine whether any recurrence instances overlap the specified time range. If one or more recurrence instances overlap the time range, then the calendar object resource matches the filter element.7.5. Searching Text: Collations
Some of the reports defined in this section do text matches of character strings provided by the client and are compared to stored calendar data. Since iCalendar data is, by default, encoded in the UTF-8 charset and may include characters outside the US-ASCII charset range in some property and parameter values, there is a need to ensure that text matching follows well-defined rules. To deal with this, this specification makes use of the IANA Collation Registry defined in [RFC4790] to specify collations that may be used to carry out the text comparison operations with a well-defined rule. The comparisons used in CalDAV are all "substring" matches, as per [RFC4790], Section 4.2. Collations supported by the server MUST support "substring" match operations. CalDAV servers are REQUIRED to support the "i;ascii-casemap" and "i;octet" collations, as described in [RFC4790], and MAY support other collations. Servers MUST advertise the set of collations that they support via the CALDAV:supported-collation-set property defined on any resource that supports reports that use collations. Clients MUST only use collations from the list advertised by the server. In the absence of a collation explicitly specified by the client, or if the client specifies the "default" collation identifier (as defined in [RFC4790], Section 3.1), the server MUST default to using "i;ascii-casemap" as the collation. Wildcards (as defined in [RFC4790], Section 3.2) MUST NOT be used in the collation identifier. If the client chooses a collation not supported by the server, the server MUST respond with a CALDAV:supported-collation precondition error response.
7.5.1. CALDAV:supported-collation-set Property
Name: supported-collation-set Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav Purpose: Identifies the set of collations supported by the server for text matching operations. Conformance: This property MUST be defined on any resource that supports a report that does text matching. If defined, it 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-collation-set property contains zero or more CALDAV:supported-collation elements, which specify the collection identifiers of the collations supported by the server. Definition: <!ELEMENT supported-collation-set (supported-collation*)> <!ELEMENT supported-collation (#PCDATA)> Example: <C:supported-collation-set xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"> <C:supported-collation>i;ascii-casemap</C:supported-collation> <C:supported-collation>i;octet</C:supported-collation> </C:supported-collation-set>7.6. Partial Retrieval
Some calendaring reports defined in this document allow partial retrieval of calendar object resources. A CalDAV client can specify what information to return in the body of a calendaring REPORT request. A CalDAV client can request particular WebDAV property values, all WebDAV property values, or a list of the names of the resource's WebDAV properties. A CalDAV client can also request calendar data to be returned and specify whether all calendar components and properties should be returned, or only particular ones. See CALDAV: calendar-data in Section 9.6.
By default, the returned calendar data will include 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". A CalDAV client that is only interested in the recurrence instances that overlap a specified time range can request to receive only the "master component", along with the "overridden components" that impact the specified time range, and thus, limit the data returned by the server (see CALDAV:limit-recurrence-set in Section 9.6.6). An overridden component impacts a time range if its current start and end times overlap the time range, or if the original start and end times -- the ones that would have been used if the instance were not overridden -- overlap the time range, or if it affects other instances that overlap the time range. A CalDAV client with no support for recurrence properties (i.e., EXDATE, EXRULE, RDATE, and RRULE) and possibly VTIMEZONE components, or a client unwilling to perform recurrence expansion because of limited processing capability, can request to receive only the recurrence instances that overlap a specified time range as separate calendar components that each define exactly one recurrence instance (see CALDAV:expand in Section 9.6.5.) Finally, in the case of VFREEBUSY components, a CalDAV client can request to receive only the FREEBUSY property values that overlap a specified time range (see CALDAV:limit-freebusy-set in Section 9.6.7.)7.7. 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 on which the server does not support queries.
7.8. 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 that does not exist is an error and MUST be noted with a response XML element that 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 9.5. 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 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 element (see
Section 9.6) specify a media type supported by the server for calendar object resources. (CALDAV:valid-filter): The CALDAV:filter XML element (see Section 9.7) 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, and 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 (see Section 9.7.1), CALDAV:prop-filter (see Section 9.7.2), and CALDAV:param-filter (see Section 9.7.3) XML elements used in the CALDAV:filter XML element (see Section 9.7) in the REPORT request only make reference to components, properties, and parameters for which queries are supported by the server, i.e., if the CALDAV: filter element attempts to reference an unsupported component, property, or parameter, this precondition is violated. 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. (CALDAV:min-date-time): Any XML element specifying a range of time MUST have its start or end DATE or DATE-TIME values greater than or equal to the value of the CALDAV:min-date-time property value (Section 5.2.6) on the calendar collections being targeted by the REPORT request; (CALDAV:max-date-time): Any XML element specifying a range of time MUST have its start or end DATE or DATE-TIME values less than or equal to the value of the CALDAV:max-date-time property value (Section 5.2.7) on the calendar collections being targeted by the REPORT request; (CALDAV:supported-collation): Any XML attribute specifying a collation MUST specify a collation supported by the server as described in Section 7.5.
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.7.8.1. 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 4, 2006, at 00:00:00 A.M. UTC to January 5, 2006, at 00:00:00 A.M. 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 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 the only property returned in the VCALENDAR object is VERSION. See Appendix B for the calendar data being targeted by this example.

7.8.2. 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 3, 2006, at 00: 00:00 A.M. UTC to January 5, 2006, at 00:00:00 A.M. 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. See Appendix B for the calendar data being targeted by this example. >> Request << 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> <C:calendar-data> <C:limit-recurrence-set start="20060103T000000Z" end="20060105T000000Z"/> </C:calendar-data> </D:prop> <C:filter> <C:comp-filter name="VCALENDAR"> <C:comp-filter name="VEVENT"> <C:time-range start="20060103T000000Z" end="20060105T000000Z"/> </C:comp-filter> </C:comp-filter> </C:filter> </C:calendar-query> >> Response << HTTP/1.1 207 Multi-Status Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 09:32:12 GMT Content-Type: application/xml; charset="utf-8" Content-Length: xxxx
