<p>I'm not (yet) a developer at that level, but seems to me there
might be an advantage to all calendar software developers if
CalConnect published an open-source set of 'functional' examples
of how to do things "How to retrieve the user's events", "How to
send a meeting invitation", etc. It might help drive adoption
of 'best practices' methods and make it easier on server vendors
for sure. Or is this what the API group is hoping to
accomplish? In an event, for client developers, it's usually
the UX that differentiates products, the user rarely sees or
thinks about the 'back end' (exactly as in e-mail).<br>

<p>My guess is that if the client is blindly requesting the ETag
of every resource using a PROPFIND rather than a
sync-collection REPORT, that the client will have no clue what
a sync-token is if you return it</p>
<p>I'd push back on the client developer and educate them that
sync-collection is almost mandatory to implement for any
well-behaved CalDAV/CardDAV client.</p>
<p>Is the PROPFIND not working because Google can't handle it or
the client times out waiting for the response? If the latter,
we at Fastmail recently experienced the same thing with
requests that require a huge response to be generated. We
fixed this by updating the Cyrus IMAP server so that responses
to PROPFIND and REPORT get "streamed" to client using chunked
transfer-encoding. This keeps the client from timing out.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello everybody,<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have an RFC question I'd appreciate some feedback
on...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have a situation where a Calendar client is trying
to get the etags of every event in an enormous calendar in
a single query. Naturally, this isn't working.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They're doing this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>PROPFIND /caldav/v2/$USERNAME/events</div>
<div>
<div><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></div>
<div><A:propfind xmlns:A="DAV:"></div>
<div> <A:prop></div>
<div> <A:getcontenttype/></div>
<div> <A:getetag/></div>
<div> </A:prop></div>
<div></A:propfind></div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you can see, they're not asking for a sync token.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>RFC6578 section 3.6 provides a mechanism where clients
can ask for paginated responses, where the server returns
partial data with a 507 status code, and a new sync token
so they can continue the query. It is a, however, a bit
ambiguous as to whether this is supported for methods
other than REPORT. The interwebs suggest it is (but I'd
appreciate a clarification here).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My question is. however:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is it permissable to return a sync-token (and expect
the client to honour it) <i>even if the client's original
query didn't ask for it</i>?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm hoping the answer is going to be yes, but if it's
no --- any suggestions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
