#226 CalDAV

[Jack Bates]

Would love CalDAV support in PHP iCalendar -
http://ietf.webdav.org/caldav/home.html

Many new calendar clients support this protocol - OSAF
Chandler, Mozilla Sunbird, etc.

Beyond WebDAV - which generally lets one client edit a
calendar & multiple clients consume it - CalDAV lets
multiple clients edit a calendar at the same time

There exists a PHP WebDAV server library with much of
the plumbing necessary to implement a CalDAV interface
- http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_WebDAV_Server

Many thanks! - Jack

I stumbled across this page (http://phpicalendar.net/documentation/index.php/CalDAV) and the corresponding tracker entry and decided to post some more information about existing CalDAV solutions... Hopefully someone might pick that up! :-)

There exist three free CalDAV servers that all seem to be more or less in a production state:
* http://rscds.sourceforge.net/ - "Really Simple CalDAV store"
* http://trac.calendarserver.org/projects/calendarserver - "Darwin Calendar Server" (the one from Apple for use with next gen iCal)
* http://cosmo.osafoundation.org/ - OSA Foundation's server

It would be pretty cool if it is possible to use PHP iCalendar as a web frontend to one of those...

best regards,
Adi Kriegisch

Cool! Thanks for updating Adi. A PHP iCalendar web frontend to a CalDAV server would rock. Jack

Can anyone tell me what the status of this bug (or actually: feature request) is? I think this would really be a killer feature since there's still no web based calendar out there which supports CalDav!

I continue working at this feature. My work is based on the HTTP_WebDAV_Server PEAR library which I have experience implementing for Gallery: http://codex.gallery2.org/WebDAV

I'm also working at my school's open systems lab on converting the ABNF in RFC 2445 to a PHP regular expression based parser: http://costar.sfu.ca/

The latest version of this code is in the PHP iCalendar CVS: http://phpicalendar.cvs.sourceforge.net/phpicalendar/phpicalendar/lib/HTTP/CalDAV/

I am also super keen for an entirely web based CalDAV server! Jack
