CalDAV Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The CalDAV Component implements an easy-to-use interface to the Calendaring Extensions to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV). In this manner the CalDAV protocol specifies a standard way of accessing, managing, and sharing calendar events based on the iCalendar format.

Syntax

TipwCalDAV

Remarks

The CalDAV &component allows remote management of calendars and their events. Supported operations include creation, deletion, listing, copying, and moving of events. Resource locking is also supported.

The GetCalendarReport method will list the event resources contained in the calendar, and the ReportFilter can be used to limit the results returned. The EventDetails event will be fired for each matching calendar resource. You may also request a report containing a list of times that the owner is free or busy using the GetFreeBusyReport. The FreeBusy event will fire for each entry received, and the data fired in the event will also be stored in the FreeBusy property.

Single events can be added to a calendar (or updated) using the CreateEvent method, and can be retrieved via the GetEvent method. Events may be copied or moved with the CopyEvent and MoveEvent.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

• Alarms
• Attendees
• Categories
• Classification
• Completed
• Created
• CustomProperties
• Depth
• Description
• Duration
• EndDate
• EventType
• LastModified
• Location
• Organizer
• Priority
• Recurrence
• Sequence
• StartDate
• Status
• Summary
• Timestamp
• Timezone
• Transparency
• UID
• URL

Each method that acts on the calendar takes a ResourceURI parameter, which points to either an event resource or to the calendar itself. Event resources have a URI that ends with a filename and the ".ics" extension. Calendar resources end in a directory path. The following methods all act on events, and thus their ResourceURI parameters must terminate in a filename with the ".ics" extension:

• CopyEvent
• DeleteEvent
• MoveEvent
• GetEvent
• CreateEvent

These methods all act upon the calendar collection resource (the calendar itself):

• CreateCalendar
• GetCalendarOptions
• GetCalendarReport
• GetFreeBusyReport

The LockCalendar and UnLockCalendar methods may operate on individual events or on the whole calendar.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

AlarmAttachment Property (CalDAV Component)

This property contains a sound file attached to the alarm.

Syntax

__property String AlarmAttachment[int AlarmIndex] = { read=FAlarmAttachment, write=FSetAlarmAttachment };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a sound file attached to the alarm. If the AlarmAction is set to aAudio, this property may optionally contain a base-64 encoded binary sound file to be played. The AlarmAttachmentType property indicates the data type of the attached file.

The AlarmIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AlarmCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AlarmAttachmentType Property (CalDAV Component)

This property contains the MIME-Type of the attachment.

Syntax

__property String AlarmAttachmentType[int AlarmIndex] = { read=FAlarmAttachmentType, write=FSetAlarmAttachmentType };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the MIME-Type of the attachment. If the AlarmAction is set to aAudio or aEmail the AlarmAttachment property may optionally contain a base-64 binary encoded attachment. The AlarmAttachmentType property is used to tell the CalDAV server what type of binary file it is receiving. This property is a standard MIME content type, in the format "type/sub-type". The most common audio types are shown in the table below:

You may use standard MIME content-types for any other file type you wish to submit in the AlarmAttachment property. If AlarmAttachment is specified but AlarmAttachmentType is left blank, no format type will be submitted with the AlarmAttachment and the CalDAV server may (or may not) attempt to determine the data type itself.

The AlarmIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AlarmCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AlarmDuration Property (CalDAV Component)

This property contains the interval between repeating alarms.

Syntax

__property String AlarmDuration[int AlarmIndex] = { read=FAlarmDuration, write=FSetAlarmDuration };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the interval between repeating alarms. This property is only used when an alarm is set to AlarmRepeat multiple times. It is specified in the form of a Duration data type. Durations are represented by the format P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

The following is an example of an alarm that repeats 4 additional times after the initial AlarmTrigger, with a 5-minute delay between each alarm: CalDav.Trigger = "-PT10M"; CalDAV.Alarm.Repeat = 4; CalDAV.Duration = "PT5M" CalDAV.Action = aDisplay;

If AlarmDuration is specified, AlarmRepeat MUST also be specified.

The AlarmIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AlarmCount property.

Remarks

This property contains the time when the alarm is triggered.

The AlarmTrigger is represented as a duration relative to the start of an event. The format is (+/-)P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

Either a positive or negative duration may be specified for the AlarmTrigger property. An alarm with a positive duration is triggered after the associated start of the event (or to-do). An alarm with a negative duration is triggered before the start of the event. For instance, the following code instructs an alarm to fire 10 minutes before the event starts: CalDAV.Alarm.Trigger = "-PT10M"

The AlarmIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AlarmCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

Authorization Property (CalDAV Component)

This property includes the Authorization string to be sent to the server.

Syntax

__property String Authorization = { read=FAuthorization, write=FSetAuthorization };

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.

This property is provided so that the HTTP component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

Data Type

String

AuthScheme Property (CalDAV Component)

This property specifies the authentication scheme to use when server authentication is required.

Syntax

__property TipwCalDAVAuthSchemes AuthScheme = { read=FAuthScheme, write=FSetAuthScheme };

enum TipwCalDAVAuthSchemes {
  authBasic=0,
  authDigest=1,
  authProprietary=2,
  authNone=3,
  authNtlm=4,
  authNegotiate=5,
  authOAuth=6
};

Default Value

authBasic

Remarks

This property will tell the component which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set.

This property should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed.

By default, this property is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the component will attempt HTTP Basic Authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), authNtlm (4), or authNegotiate (5), then Digest, NTLM, or Windows Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token must be supplied through the Authorization property.

If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6), then the authorization string must be supplied through the Authorization property.

Note: If you set the Authorization property and AuthScheme is not authProprietary or authOAuth, then the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the component.

For security, changing the value of this property will cause the component to clear the values of User, Password, and Authorization.

String

Duration Property (CalDAV Component)

Duration of the calendar event.

Syntax

__property String Duration = { read=FDuration, write=FSetDuration };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the duration for a calendar event. Durations are represented by the format P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

EndDate Property (CalDAV Component)

Specifies the date and time that a calendar event ends.

Syntax

__property String EndDate = { read=FEndDate, write=FSetEndDate };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the date and time that a calendar event will end. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

ETag Property (CalDAV Component)

Identifier returned by the CalDAV server which is used to synchronize edits.

Syntax

__property String ETag = { read=FETag, write=FSetETag };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property identifies the state of the event in the calendar. An ETag is returned by the CalDAV server after a successful CreateEvent request. Every time an event is updated, the ETag changes. This gives you the ability to determine if another user has changed the event you added.

You can use this ETag value to maintain a cache. If you submit a GetCalendarReport request with the ReportFilterReturnCalendarData property set to False only the URI and ETags for each event in the calendar will be returned in the report. You can cache the ETag and URI locally, and then inspect the report for any changes and update only the events that have changed ETags.

When updating an event with the CreateEvent method, you may add the ETag to the "If-Match" header (using OtherHeaders) in order to insure that you are not overwriting more recent changes on the server. For instance: calDAV.UID = "20110202T000000Z-6414-500-10112-204@nsoftest"; calDAV.StartDate = "20110202T000000Z"; calDAV.EndDate = "20110202T110000Z"; calDAV.TimeStamp = "20100301T000000Z"; calDAV.Summary = "Dinner with friends"; calDAV.Description = "Getting everyone together for some food and fun"; calDAV.Location = "The James Joyce Irish Pub"; calDAV.EventType = CaldavsEventTypes.vEvent; calDAV.OtherHeaders = "If-Match: 1900-1900\r\ n"; calDAV.CreateEvent "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/20110202T000000Z-6414-500-10112-204@nsoftest.ics" If the current ETag for the above event is "1900-1900", then the above modification will work perfectly. However, if the event was modified on the Yahoo server, the ETag will not match and the above will fail with an HTTP Protocol error: "409 Conflict". In that case you should retrieve the event with GetEvent and update the most recent version.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

The name or IP address of the firewall (optional).

Syntax

__property String FirewallHost = { read=FFirewallHost, write=FSetFirewallHost };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The name or IP address of the firewall (optional). If a FirewallHost is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the component raises an exception.

Data Type

String

FirewallPassword Property (CalDAV Component)

A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

Syntax

__property String FirewallPassword = { read=FFirewallPassword, write=FSetFirewallPassword };

Default Value

""

Remarks

A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword properties are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.

Data Type

String

FirewallPort Property (CalDAV Component)

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host .

Syntax

__property int FirewallPort = { read=FFirewallPort, write=FSetFirewallPort };

Default Value

0

Remarks

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall FirewallHost. See the description of the FirewallHost property for details.

Note: This property is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value. See the description of the FirewallType property for details.

Data Type

String

FollowRedirects Property (CalDAV Component)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Syntax

__property TipwCalDAVFollowRedirects FollowRedirects = { read=FFollowRedirects, write=FSetFollowRedirects };

enum TipwCalDAVFollowRedirects {
  frNever=0,
  frAlways=1,
  frSameScheme=2
};

Default Value

frNever

Remarks

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the component returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the component raises an exception.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the component raises an exception instead.

Data Type

Integer

FreeBusyCount Property (CalDAV Component)

The number of records in the FreeBusy arrays.

Syntax

__property int FreeBusyCount = { read=FFreeBusyCount };

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property controls the size of the following arrays:

• FreeBusyRange
• FreeBusyType

The array indices start at 0 and end at FreeBusyCount - 1.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

FreeBusyRange Property (CalDAV Component)

Contains the date/time range when the calendar owner is busy.

Syntax

__property String FreeBusyRange[int FreeBusyIndex] = { read=FFreeBusyRange };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Contains the date/time range when the calendar owner is busy. The format for this property is either "DATETIME/DATETIME" or "DATETIME/DURATION"

The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Durations are represented by the format P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:

For example, "P4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds. Unused date/time designators may be left out completely. (A five-minute duration may be represented as simply "PT5M"). Also note that "PT36H" and "P1DT12H" represent the same duration.

This format is based on ISO-8601, but unlike the ISO specification this duration property does not support durations measured in years or months.

The FreeBusyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the FreeBusyCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Indicates the busy status of the corresponding BusyRange .

Syntax

__property String FreeBusyType[int FreeBusyIndex] = { read=FFreeBusyType };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Indicates the busy status of the corresponding FreeBusyBusyRange. A calendar may use custom values for the FreeBusyBusyType, but the standard values include:

• BUSY
• FREE
• BUSY-TENTATIVE
• BUSY-UNAVAILABLE

The FreeBusyIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the FreeBusyCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Idle Property (CalDAV Component)

The current status of the component.

Syntax

__property bool Idle = { read=FIdle };

Default Value

Remarks

This property will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

Boolean

LastModified Property (CalDAV Component)

The date and time that the information associated with the calendar event was last revised in the calendar store.

Syntax

__property String LastModified = { read=FLastModified, write=FSetLastModified };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the date and time that the information associated with the calendar event was last revised in the calendar store. This is analogous to the modification date and time for a file in the file system, and must be specified in the UTC time format: <date>T<time>Z, where date is in "YYYYMMDD" format and time is in "hhmmss" format. "T" is the delimiter between date and time, and "Z" is the UTC timezone indicator. For example, "20020119T13:23:56Z" is 1:23:56pm on January 19th, 2002. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (CalDAV Component)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

__property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

Location Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines the intended venue for the activity defined by a calendar component.

Syntax

__property String Location = { read=FLocation, write=FSetLocation };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may be used to explicitly specify the venue, such as conference or meeting rooms, for the activity defined by a calendar component. An alternate representation may be specified using a URI that points to directory information with more structured specifications of the location. For example, the alternate representation may specify either an LDAP URL [RFC4516] pointing to an LDAP server entry or a CID URL [RFC2392] pointing to a MIME body part containing a Virtual-Information Card (vCard) [RFC2426] for the location.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

LockType Property (CalDAV Component)

The type of the current resource lock.

Syntax

__property String LockType = { read=FLockType, write=FSetLockType };

Default Value

"write"

Remarks

The type of the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the LockType may be set to the type of lock being requested. Currently, the component only supports requesting locks of type "write", although the protocol defines an optional "read" lock. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the component will set the LockType property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Data Type

String

LockOwner Property (CalDAV Component)

The principle that owns the current resource lock.

Syntax

__property String LockOwner = { read=FLockOwner, write=FSetLockOwner };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The principle that owns the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock LockOwner may be set to the name of a principle or group of principles that will own the lock. If no owner is specified, the server will automatically associate the lock with the requesting principle. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the component will set the LockOwner property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Data Type

String

LockScope Property (CalDAV Component)

The scope of the current resource lock.

Syntax

__property String LockScope = { read=FLockScope, write=FSetLockScope };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The scope of the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock LockScope may be set to the type of scope needed for the lock. Currently the component will only allow two types of scopes to be requested:

If no scope is specified, the protocol default scope, "exclusive", will be requested. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the component will set the LockScope property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Data Type

String

LockTimeout Property (CalDAV Component)

The time to live for the current resource lock.

Syntax

__property int LockTimeout = { read=FLockTimeout, write=FSetLockTimeout };

Default Value

0

Remarks

The time to live for the current resource lock.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock LockTimeout may be set to a specific amount of time needed for the locked operation to take place. The timeout is used to determine how long the lock may exist before the server automatically unlocks the resource URI. If LockTimeout of 0 is specified, the server will use a default timeout. After a successful LockCalendar operation, the component will set the Lock LockTimeout property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Data Type

Integer

LockToken Property (CalDAV Component)

The lock string to be used when submitting operations on a locked resource.

Syntax

__property String LockToken = { read=FLockToken, write=FSetLockToken };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The lock string to be used when submitting operations on a locked resource.

Before the calendar resource can be locked, the Lock LockToken may be set to the token returned by a previous lock operation. This is useful when renewing a timeout. The server will respond with a new timeout value, which will be stored in LockTimeout. If the lock request is not a lock refresh, LockToken must be empty, and will be parsed out of the server response after a successful LockCalendar operation.

Data Type

String

Organizer Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines the organizer of a calendar event.

Syntax

__property String Organizer = { read=FOrganizer, write=FSetOrganizer };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is specified within the vEvent, vTodo, and vJournal calendar EventTypes to specify the organizer of a group-scheduled calendar entity. The property is specified within the vFreeBusy EventType to identify the calendar user requesting the free or busy time. When publishing a vFreeBusy EventType, the property is used to specify the calendar that the published busy time came from.

Each email address should be in the mailto URI format (as defined in RFC2368).

For instance: CalDAV.Organizer = "mailto:jane_doe@example.com";

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

OtherHeaders Property (CalDAV Component)

Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

Syntax

__property String OtherHeaders = { read=FOtherHeaders, write=FSetOtherHeaders };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers created from other properties like ContentType and From.

The headers must follow the format Header: Value as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .

Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.

This property is useful for extending the functionality of the component beyond what is provided.

For CalDAV, the "If-Match" header is extremely useful. After adding a an event with CreateEvent or retrieving an event with GetEvent, the ETag property will contain a value indicating the current state of the event. If you wish to update the event, you may pass this returned ETag in an "If-Match" header. If the event on the server has been modified since you retrieved it (and the ETag on the server has changed), then the CreateEvent will fail with an HTTP Protocol Error: "409 Conflict", which indicates there is a conflict between the version you're trying to update and the current version on the sever. For instance: calDAV.OtherHeaders = "If-Match: 1900-1900\r\ n";

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

The ParsedHeaderIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ParsedHeaderCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Password Property (CalDAV Component)

This property includes a password if authentication is to be used.

Syntax

__property String Password = { read=FPassword, write=FSetPassword };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a password if authentication is to be used. If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the result is put in the Authorization configuration setting in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Digest Authentication, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM, NTLM authentication will be attempted. If AuthScheme is set to NTLM and User and Password are empty, the component will attempt to authenticate using the current user's credentials.

Data Type

String

Priority Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines the relative priority for a calendar event.

Syntax

__property int Priority = { read=FPriority, write=FSetPriority };

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the relative priority of a calendar event. The priority is specified as an integer in the range 0 to 9. A value of 0 specifies an undefined Priority. A value of 1 is the highest Priority. A value of 2 is the second highest Priority. Subsequent numbers specify a decreasing ordinal Priority. A value of 9 is the lowest Priority.

A Calendar User-Agent (CUA) with a three-level Priority scheme of "HIGH", "MEDIUM", and "LOW" is mapped into this property such that a property value in the range of 1 to 4 specifies "HIGH" Priority. A value of 5 is the normal or "MEDIUM" Priority. A value in the range of 6 to 9 is "LOW" Priority.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

Integer

ProxyAuthScheme Property (CalDAV Component)

The type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy.

Syntax

__property TipwCalDAVProxyAuthSchemes ProxyAuthScheme = { read=FProxyAuthScheme, write=FSetProxyAuthScheme };

enum TipwCalDAVProxyAuthSchemes {
  authBasic=0,
  authDigest=1,
  authProprietary=2,
  authNone=3,
  authNtlm=4,
  authNegotiate=5
};

Default Value

authBasic

Remarks

The type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are set.

ProxyAuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.

By default, ProxyAuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the component. Look at the configuration file for the component being used to find more information about manually setting this token.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.

For security reasons, setting this property will clear the values of ProxyUser and ProxyPassword.

Data Type

Integer

ProxyAutoDetect Property (CalDAV Component)

Whether to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available.

Syntax

__property bool ProxyAutoDetect = { read=FProxyAutoDetect, write=FSetProxyAutoDetect };

Data Type

Integer

ProxyUser Property (CalDAV Component)

A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

Syntax

__property String ProxyUser = { read=FProxyUser, write=FSetProxyUser };

Default Value

""

Remarks

A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If ProxyAuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Data Type

String

RecurrenceDates Property (CalDAV Component)

Individual dates on which the event will recur.

Syntax

__property String RecurrenceDates = { read=FRecurrenceDates, write=FSetRecurrenceDates };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Individual dates on which the event will recur.

This property is used if you wish to denote specific, individual dates on which the event recurs. If you have an event that occurs monthly or weekly or on some other time interval, use the RecurrenceRule property instead.

This property is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this property will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

RecurrenceExceptionDates Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines the list of DATE-TIME exceptions to the recurrence set.

Syntax

__property String RecurrenceExceptionDates = { read=FRecurrenceExceptionDates, write=FSetRecurrenceExceptionDates };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Defines the list of DATE-TIME exceptions to the recurrence set.

If the RecurrenceExceptionDates and RecurrenceExceptionRule are specified, they are used in computing the recurrence set. The recurrence set is the complete set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is generated by considering the initial StartDate property along with the RecurrenceRule, RecurrenceDates, RecurrenceExceptionRule, and RecurrenceExceptionDates properties contained within the recurring event. The StartDate property defines the first instance in the recurrence set. The starting date SHOULD match the pattern of the recurrence rule, if specified. The recurrence set generated with a start date that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined. The final recurrence set is generated by gathering all of the start DATE-TIME values generated by any of the specified RecurrenceRule and RecurrenceDates properties, and then excluding any start DATE-TIME values specified by the RecurrenceExceptionRule or RecurrenceExceptionDates properties. This implies that DATE-TIME values specified by the RecurrenceExceptionRule and RecurrenceExceptionDates properties take precedence over those specified by inclusion properties (i.e., RecurrenceDates and RecurrenceRule). When duplicate instances are generated by the recurrence RecurrenceRule and RecurrenceDates properties, only one recurrence is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.

The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

This property is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this property will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

RecurrenceExceptionRule Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines a rule or repeating pattern for an exception to the recurrence set.

Syntax

__property String RecurrenceExceptionRule = { read=FRecurrenceExceptionRule, write=FSetRecurrenceExceptionRule };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Defines a rule or repeating pattern for an exception to the recurrence set.

If the RecurrenceExceptionDates and RecurrenceExceptionRule are specified, they are used in computing the recurrence set. The recurrence set is the complete set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The recurrence set is generated by considering the initial StartDate property along with the RecurrenceRule, RecurrenceDates, RecurrenceExceptionRule, and RecurrenceExceptionDates properties contained within the recurring event.

When duplicate instances are generated by the recurrence RecurrenceRule and RecurrenceDates properties, only one recurrence is considered. Duplicate instances are ignored.

This value type is a structured value consisting of a list of one or more recurrence grammar parts. Each rule part is defined by a NAME=VALUE pair. The rule parts are separated from each other by the SEMICOLON character. The rule parts are not ordered in any particular sequence. Individual rule parts MUST only be specified once.

The table below shows the supported rules and their usage.

Note: The BYSECOND, BYMINUTE and BYHOUR rule parts MUST NOT be specified when the associated StartDate property is specified.

Information not contained in the RecurrenceRule necessary to determine the various recurrence instance start time and dates are derived from the StartDate property. For example, "FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=1" doesn't specify a specific day within the month or a time. This information would be the same as what is specified for the StartDate property.

BYxxx rule parts modify the recurrence in some manner. BYxxx rule parts for a period of time that is the same or greater than the frequency generally reduce or limit the number of occurrences of the recurrence generated. For example, "FREQ=DAILY;BYMONTH=1" reduces the number of recurrence instances from all days (if BYMONTH rule part is not present) to all days in January. BYxxx rule parts for a period of time less than the frequency generally increase or expand the number of occurrences of the recurrence. For example, "FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=1,2" increases the number of days within the yearly recurrence set from 1 (if BYMONTH rule part is not present) to 2.

If multiple BYxxx rule parts are specified, then after evaluating the specified FREQ and INTERVAL rule parts, the BYxxx rule parts are applied to the current set of evaluated occurrences in the following order: BYMONTH, BYWEEKNO, BYYEARDAY, BYMONTHDAY, BYDAY, BYHOUR, BYMINUTE, BYSECOND and BYSETPOS; then COUNT and UNTIL are evaluated.

This property is filled after retrieving a calendar event, and is also used to create an event to put on the server. However, when requesting a report the contents of this property will only be valid inside the CalDAV EventDetails event.

enum TipwCalDAVReportFilterEventTypes {
  vtEvent=0,
  vtTodo=1,
  vtJournal=2,
  vtFreeBusy=3,
  vtAll=4
};

Default Value

vtEvent

Remarks

Indicates the type of calendar object resources to return in a Report. Some calendar servers (Google in particular) do not support vtAll, so you must submit a report for each type of event you wish to retrieve a report on.

Data Type

Integer

ReportFilterProperty Property (CalDAV Component)

Limits the events returned in a Report to only those which contain a matching property name and value.

Syntax

__property String ReportFilterProperty = { read=FReportFilterProperty, write=FSetReportFilterProperty };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Limits the events returned in a Report to only those which contain a matching property name and value. For instance, setting the ReportFilterProperty filter to "ORGANIZER" will return only events that have an organizer specified. Setting the ReportFilterProperty filter to "ORGANIZER=mailto:JohnSmith@example.com" will return only resources where "mailto:JohnSmith@example.com" is the specified organizer. Likewise, you can retrieve a report on a single event by setting the ReportFilterProperty filter with the UID of the needed resource. For example: ReportFilterProperty = "UID=DC6C50A017428C5216A2F1CD@example.com";.

You may add multiple properties to the filter by separating them with commas. For example: "ORGANIZER=mailto:JohnSmith@example.com, STATUS=CANCELLED".

ReportFilterRecurEnd Property (CalDAV Component)

Limits the recurring events returned in the report.

Syntax

__property String ReportFilterRecurEnd = { read=FReportFilterRecurEnd, write=FSetReportFilterRecurEnd };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Limits the recurring events returned in the report.

Use of the CalDAV limit-recurrence-set element causes the server to only return overridden recurrence components that overlap the time range specified by ReportFilterRecurStart and ReportFilterRecurEnd or that affect other instances that overlap the time range specified by ReportFilterStartDate and ReportFilterEndDate. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Note that the ReportFilterRecurEnd property cannot be used when ReportFilterReturnCalendarData is False.

Data Type

String

ReportFilterRecurStart Property (CalDAV Component)

Limits the recurring events returned in the report.

Syntax

__property String ReportFilterRecurStart = { read=FReportFilterRecurStart, write=FSetReportFilterRecurStart };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Limits the recurring events returned in the report.

Use of the CalDAV limit-recurrence-set element causes the server to only return overridden recurrence components that overlap the time range specified by ReportFilterRecurStart and ReportFilterRecurEnd or that affect other instances that overlap the time range specified by ReportFilterStartDate and ReportFilterEndDate. The date/time format is "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", where "T" indicates the break between date and time. You may also append a 1-character alpha code for the timezone. For instance, "20100104T123456Z" indicates January 4th, 2010 at 12:34:56 PM UTC.

Note that the ReportFilterRecurStart property cannot be used when ReportFilterReturnCalendarData is False.

Data Type

String

ReportFilterReturnCalendarData Property (CalDAV Component)

Controls whether the contents of each calendar event is returned in the report.

Syntax

__property bool ReportFilterReturnCalendarData = { read=FReportFilterReturnCalendarData, write=FSetReportFilterReturnCalendarData };

Default Value

true

Remarks

Controls whether the contents of each calendar event is returned in the report.

If ReportFilterReturnCalendarData is True (default), a report will contain the full contents of each event in the calendar. This can be a substantially large amount of data. However if ReportFilterReturnCalendarData is False, the report returned will contain only URIs and ETags of each calendar event. You may compare the URIs against a cached list and retrieve any new URIs individually via the CalDAV.GetCalendarEvent method. If the ETag for a cached URI has changed, it means that the calendar event has changed, and needs to be retrieved.

Note that this filter is not compatible with the ReportFilterRecurStart and ReportFilterRecurEnd properties.

Data Type

Boolean

ReportFilterStartDate Property (CalDAV Component)

Limits the events returned in the report to only those which occur in the time range specified by StartDate and EndDate .

Syntax

String

ReportFilterUID Property (CalDAV Component)

Limits the recurring events returned in the report to only those with the specified UID.

Syntax

__property String ReportFilterUID = { read=FReportFilterUID, write=FSetReportFilterUID };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Limits the recurring events returned in the report to only those with the specified UID.

Data Type

String

Sequence Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines the revision sequence number of the event within a sequence of revisions.

Syntax

__property int Sequence = { read=FSequence, write=FSetSequence };

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the revision sequence number of the event within a sequence of revisions. When a calendar component is created its Sequence number is 0. It is incremented by the Organizer's Calendar User Agent (CUA) each time the Organizer makes a significant revision to the calendar event. Therefore, a Sequence number of 2 means the event has been revised twice.

The Organizer includes this property in a calendar event that it sends to an Attendees to specify the current version of the event. Likewise, the Attendees includes this property in an event that it sends to the Organizer to specify the version of the calendar component to which the Attendees is referring.

Note: Recurrence instances of a recurring event may have different sequence numbers.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

Transparency Property (CalDAV Component)

Defines whether or not an event is transparent to busy time searches.

Syntax

__property String Transparency = { read=FTransparency, write=FSetTransparency };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property defines whether or not an event is transparent to busy time searches. Time Transparency is the characteristic of an event that determines whether it appears to consume time on a calendar. Events that consume actual time for the individual or resource associated with the calendar SHOULD be recorded as "OPAQUE", allowing them to be detected by free/busy time searches. Other events, which do not take up the individual's (or resource's) time SHOULD be recorded as "TRANSPARENT", making them invisible to free/ busy time searches.

Custom transparency values may or may not be supported by your calendar implementation, but all implementations will support the "OPAQUE" and "TRANSPARENT" values.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

UID Property (CalDAV Component)

A persistent, globally unique identifier for the calendar event.

Syntax

__property String UID = { read=FUID, write=FSetUID };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a persistent, globally unique identifier. The generator of the identifier MUST guarantee that the identifier is unique. There are several algorithms that can be used to accomplish this. A good method to assure uniqueness is to put the domain name or a domain literal IP address of the host on which the identifier was created on the right-hand side of an "@", and on the left-hand side, put a combination of the current calendar date and time of day (i.e., formatted in as a date/time value) along with some other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier available on the system (for example, a process id number). Using a date/time value on the left-hand side and a domain name or domain literal on the right-hand side makes it possible to guarantee uniqueness since no two hosts should be using the same domain name or IP address at the same time. Though other algorithms will work, it is recommended that the right-hand side contain some domain identifier (either of the host itself or otherwise) such that the generator of the message identifier can guarantee the uniqueness of the left-hand side within the scope of that domain.

NOTE: Some CalDAV servers (Yahoo for example) require that the UID and the filename portion of the Resource URI match. For example, if the UID is "hello_world" then the ResourceURI parameter of the CreateEvent should be "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/hello_world.ics". If the UID and filename portion of the URI do not match, the Yahoo CalDAV server will return a "302 Found" response indicating that the requested resource resides under a different URI. (Meaning the event was not added to the calendar)

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

Data Type

String

URL Property (CalDAV Component)

Location of the event resource on the CalDAV server.

Syntax

__property String URL = { read=FURL };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is read-only, and will be filled with the location of the event resource for each event returned. This will only be returned in response to a GetCalendarReport transaction.

This property is filled from the response to a GetEvent, and is also used when creating an event to be added using the CreateEvent method. However, when requesting a report using the GetCalendarReport method, the contents of this property will only be valid inside the EventDetails event.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

String

User Property (CalDAV Component)

This property includes a user name if authentication is to be used.

Syntax

__property String User = { read=FUser, write=FSetUser };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a user name if authentication is to be used. If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Basic Authentication, The User and Password are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

If AuthScheme is set to HTTP Digest Authentication, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM, NTLM authentication will be attempted. If AuthScheme is set to NTLM, and User and Password are empty, the component will attempt to authenticate using the current user's credentials.

Data Type

String

AddCookie Method (CalDAV Component)

Adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers.

Syntax

void __fastcall AddCookie(String CookieName, String CookieValue);

Remarks

This method adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers. Please refer to the Cookies property for more information on cookies and how they are managed.

AddCustomProperty Method (CalDAV Component)

Adds a form variable and the corresponding value.

Syntax

void __fastcall AddCustomProperty(String VarName, String VarValue);

Remarks

This property adds a form variable and the corresponding value. For information on form variables and how they are managed, please refer to the CustomProperties properties.

Example using the AddCustomProperty method:

CalDAV.Reset() CalDAV.AddCustomProperty("propname1", "propvalue1") CalDAV.AddCustomProperty("propname2", "propvalue2") Example using Custom Property arrays: CalDAV.Reset() CalDAV.CustomPropertyCount = 2 CalDAV.CustomPropertyName (0) = "propname1" CalDAV.CustomPropertyValue(0) = "propvalue1" CalDAV.CustomPropertyName (1) = "propname2" CalDAV.CustomPropertyValue(1) = "propvalue2"

Config Method (CalDAV Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

CopyEvent Method (CalDAV Component)

Copy events to a new location.

Syntax

void __fastcall CopyEvent(String SourceResourceURI, String DestinationResourceURI);

Remarks

The CopyEvent method will copy the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the component will copy only SourceResourceURI. If Depth is set to "infinity", the component will copy SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to the relative locations.

If the user has acquired a LockCalendar of infinite depth on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

Note that neither Yahoo nor Google CalDAV servers support locking, copying, or moving calendar resources.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

CreateCalendar Method (CalDAV Component)

Creates a new calendar collection resource.

Syntax

void __fastcall CreateCalendar(String ResourceURI, String DisplayName, String Description);

Remarks

The CreateCalendar method creates a new calendar collection resource. A server MAY restrict calendar collection creation to particular collections.

Creating calendar collections is not supported by all CalDAV servers. Some calendar stores only support one calendar per user (or principal), and those are typically pre-created for each account.

The DisplayName and Description parameters should be set to a human readable display name and description of the calendar. The Timezone property specifies the default timezone of the calendar.

To successfully create a calendar, the ResourceURI cannot already exist, and must point to a valid location where a new calendar can be created. The DAV:bind privilege MUST be granted to the current user on the parent collection of the specified ResourceURI.

The following example shows how to create a simple new calendar collection resource with Yahoo Calendar. calDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1", "My Display Name", "My Calendar Description);

Note that Google does not support creating a new calendar through CalDAV. It must be created through the Google calendar web interface.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

CreateEvent Method (CalDAV Component)

Adds a calendar resource at the specified ResourceURI using the CalDAV PUT method.

Syntax

void __fastcall CreateEvent(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method adds a new event to the calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. The ResourceURI must be a fully qualified URL to the location on the CalDAV server to which this event will be saved. If the ResourceURI already exists, the event at that URI will be overwritten.

NOTE: Some CalDAV servers (Yahoo for example) require that the UID and the filename portion of the URI match. For example, if the UID is "hello_world" then the ResourceURI parameter of the CreateEvent should be "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/hello_world.ics". If the UID and filename portion of the URI do not match, the Yahoo CalDAV server will return a "302 Found" response indicating that the requested resource resides under a different URI. (Meaning the event was not added to the calendar)

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ.

DeleteCalendar Method (CalDAV Component)

Deletes a calendar collection resource.

Syntax

void __fastcall DeleteCalendar(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method deletes a calendar collection resource specified by ResourceURI. To successfully delete a calendar, the ResourceURI should already exist, and must point to a valid location where a calendar can be deleted. The DAV:bind privilege MUST be granted to the current user on the parent collection of the specified ResourceURI.

The following example shows how to delete a calendar collection resource: calDAV.DeleteCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1"); In a NextCloud server, if all calendars are deleted, a new Personal calendar is automatically created.

Note that Google does not support deleting a calendar through CalDAV. It must be created through the Google calendar web interface.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

DeleteEvent Method (CalDAV Component)

Delete a resource or collection.

Syntax

void __fastcall DeleteEvent(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method behaves independently of the Depth property. It is used to delete the resource or collection specified by ResourceURI. If ResourceURI denotes a non-collection resource, it is first removed from any collection in which it is contained, it is then removed from the server. If ResourceURI denotes a collection, the server behaves as if the command were issued with an infinite depth (i.e., all internal member URIs denoting single resources or collections are deleted).

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

DoEvents Method (CalDAV Component)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

void __fastcall DoEvents();

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

ExportICS Method (CalDAV Component)

Generates an event from the properties in the iCal (.ICS) format.

Syntax

String __fastcall ExportICS();

Remarks

The ExportICS method is used to create a calendar object and export it in the iCal/ICS format, which can then be saved to disk and imported using any calendar software, even those that do not support CalDAV. The ExportICS method will create the exact same data as the CreateEvent method sends when adding or updating an event to a calendar.

Note that if ExportICS is called immediately after a successful GetEvent, the unmodified calendar returned from the CalDAV server will be returned. However if any properties are changed between the GetEvent and ExportICS calls, the component will generate and return a brand new event.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

GetCalendarOptions Method (CalDAV Component)

Retrieves options for the ResourceURI to determines whether it supports calendar access.

Syntax

void __fastcall GetCalendarOptions(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method sends an OPTIONS HTTP request to the indicated ResourceURI. The server will respond with an 200 OK HTTP message, and the supported options will fire one-by-one in the Header event. If a server supports CalDAV calendar access, the "DAV" header will contain the string "calendar-access". The allowable CalDAV and WebDAV methods may also be returned in the "Allow" header.

For instance, the following headers may be returned from a call to the GetCalendarOptions method:

Since the "DAV" header contains "calendar-access", CalDAV is supported on this ResourceURI.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

GetCalendarReport Method (CalDAV Component)

Generates a report on the indicated calendar collection resource.

Syntax

void __fastcall GetCalendarReport(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method is used to send a calendar-query request to the calendar located at the specified ResourceURI. The ReportFilter can be used to filter out and return only the calendar events you wish to receive. The response to a calendar-query report will be parsed by the component, and information about the individual events contained within shall be fired in the EventDetails event.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

	Carolina Rollergirls match: 20090411T170000 to 20090411T180000

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

GetEvent Method (CalDAV Component)

Retrieves a single event from the CalDAV server.

Syntax

void __fastcall GetEvent(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method retrieves a single event from a CalDAV server. The ResourceURI points to the exact location of the iCal (*.ics) file you wish to retrieve. (If you do not know the URL of the event you need, you can use the GetCalendarReport method along with the ReportFilter property to find it.)

The event will be retrieved using the WebDAV GET method. The full response is delivered through the Transfer event and the HTTP response headers through the Header event. After an event is retrieved with this method, the component parses the calendar data into properties. You may then edit these properties and use CreateEvent to update the calendar event resource.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar).

GetFreeBusyReport Method (CalDAV Component)

Generates a report as to when the calendar owner is free and/or busy.

Syntax

void __fastcall GetFreeBusyReport(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method sends a free-busy-query request to the calendar at the specified ResourceURI. . The CalDAV server will return a list of FREEBUSY elements, which will be fired in the FreeBusy event and also stored in the FreeBusy collection. Each FREEBUSY element contains a type (BUSY, FREE, BUSY-TENTATIVE, etc.) and a date range.

Note that the ReportFilterStartDate property is required for a Free/Busy report. The ReportFilterEndDate property is optional. These are the only two ReportFilters used by the GetFreeBusyReport request, all other filters will be ignored.

Note that Google Calendar does not currently support Free/Busy reporting.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

ImportICS Method (CalDAV Component)

Imports calendar data (contained in an ICS file) into the component's property list.

Syntax

void __fastcall ImportICS(String CalendarData);

Remarks

This method is used to load calendar data from an external source into the component. You may then submit this data with a call to CreateEvent. If you edit any of the component properties between importing and calling CreateEvent, the component will re-generate the PUT request itself. If no properties are changed, the imported data will be submitted unaltered when calling CreateEvent.

As the calendar data is imported, the component will scan CalendarData for any calendar events. Each time a calendar event is discovered, the EventDetails event will fire, and the calendar event properties will be updated.

After ImportICS completes, the calendar event properties will be set to the most recent calendar event found in CalendarData.

Interrupt Method (CalDAV Component)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

void __fastcall Interrupt();

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

ListCalendars Method (CalDAV Component)

Lists all calendars that the current user can access.

Syntax

void __fastcall ListCalendars(String baseURL);

Remarks

This method lists all calendars the user can access.

The BaseURL parameter must be set to the base CalDAV URL for the server. For instance in the case of Google this is https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2. Other servers may use a format like https://mydavserver/.well-known/caldav/.

When this method is called the component will automatically perform a series of requests to obtain the calendar list. First, the component will send a PROPFIND request to the specified base URL to obtain the current-user-principle. Once the current user has been found, the component will then use that information to send a second PROPFIND request to get calendar-home-set for the user. The calendar-home-set is then be used by the component to make a final PROPFIND request to get the list of calendars for the user.

Once this method returns, the component will populate the Calendar* properties. For example:

calDAV.ListCalendars("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2"); for (int i = 0; i < calDAV.Calendars.Count; i++) { string url = calDAV.Calendars[i].URL; string displayName = calDAV.Calendars[i].DisplayName; ... }

LockCalendar Method (CalDAV Component)

Obtain a lock for a specified calendar resource.

Syntax

void __fastcall LockCalendar(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method will request a new lock to be placed on ResourceURI in the user's name so that only the user can operate on it. The method is linked to a number of properties that it uses to generate the lock request:

After a successful call to the LockCalendar method the component will receive the new lock values, which it will parse and store in the lock properties.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the component will lock only ResourceURI and its properties. If Depth is set to "infinity", the component will lock ResourceURI and its entire subtree.

If MoveEvent or CopyEvent are used to place a resource or collection in a location under a resource locked with "infinity", the new resource or collection will be added to the lock. Any lock on a collection will prevent non-lock owners from adding resources to that collection.

Note that while the Yahoo CalDAV server does accept LockCalendar and UnLockCalendar requests, the server does not respect resource locks (either on events or on the entire calendar). The Google CalDAV sever does not support either of these requests, and will respond with an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method Not Allowed. Also, neither Yahoo nor Google CalDAV servers support copying or moving calendar resources.

MoveEvent Method (CalDAV Component)

Moves one calendar resource to a new location.

Syntax

void __fastcall MoveEvent(String SourceResourceURI, String DestinationResourceURI);

Remarks

This method will move the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the component will move only SourceResourceURI. If Depth is set to "infinity", the component will move SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to locations relative to it.

If the user has acquired a lock of infinite depth (via LockCalendar) on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

Note that neither Yahoo nor Google CalDAV servers support locking, copying, or moving calendar resources.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

Reset Method (CalDAV Component)

Reset the component.

Syntax

void __fastcall Reset();

Remarks

This method will reset the component's properties to their default values.

SendCustomRequest Method (CalDAV Component)

Sends a request to the CalDAV server to do CRUD operations.

Syntax

void __fastcall SendCustomRequest(String HttpMethod, String Url, String RequestBody);

Remarks

Allows users to send personalized HTTP commands to a CalDAV server. It requires three string parameters: HTTPMethod indicates the desired action (e.g., "GET," "POST"), url specifies the target resource's URL, and RequestBody includes data sent with the request. Here is an example of how to create a calendar event: string httpMethod = "MKCALENDAR"; string url = "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user/Calendar/CreateCalendarTest"; string requestBody = "BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:/n software IPWorks CalDAV Component - www.nsoftware.com VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT UID: uidValue DTSTAMP: dtstampValue DTSTART: dtstartValue DTEND: dtendValue PRIORITY:0 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:TEST END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR" calDAV.SendCustomRequest(httpMethod, url, requestBody);

UnLockCalendar Method (CalDAV Component)

Unlocks a calendar resource.

Syntax

void __fastcall UnLockCalendar(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method unlocks a calendar resource. Before calling UnLockCalendar on a particular calendar resource, the LockToken property must be set to the lock token for ResourceURI. The method will remove the lock, allowing other users or non-privileged users to access and operate on the file.

UpdateCalendar Method (CalDAV Component)

Updates a calendar collection resource.

Syntax

void __fastcall UpdateCalendar(String ResourceURI, int CalIndex);

Remarks

This method updates an existing calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. To successfully update a calendar, the ResourceURI should already exist, and must point to a valid location where a calendar is saved. This method requires the specified calendar collection index. Use ListCalendars and search through Calendars to find the index of the calendar to be updated.

The following example shows how to update a calendar collection resource: CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1", "test", "test"); calDAV.Calendars[0].DisplayName = "test_updated"; calDAV.Calendars[0].Color = "#000001"; calDAV.UpdateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/userid/Calendar/TestCal1", 0);

Note that Google does not support updating a calendar through CalDAV. It must be updated through the Google calendar web interface.

There is no standard format for resource URIs. Google for instance, uses "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/" plus your email address to access the default calendar. So "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/" is the base URI for the default calendar. If you have multiple calendars, replace the email address portion above with the Id of the calendar, plus "@group.calendar.google.com/". For instance: "https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/ev3nkr4ua83jej7q32oumn5eeo@group.calendar.google.com/". For Google, calendar events are stored in the "/events/" path. To retrieve a report on a calendar, you'd add "/events/" to one of the above paths. For example: CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/"); Leaving the "/events/" out of the URI will result in an HTTP protocol error: 405 Method not allowed.

To add or retrieve an event, add the UID of the event you're creating or retrieving plus ".ics" to the path. Note that when putting an event with the CreateEvent method, if the resourceURI and the UID do not match Google will create the event using the UID stored in the UID property. The actual location of will be newly added event will be returned in a "Location" header. This is the resource URI you must use to retrieve the event with GetEvent. For example: CalDAV.UID = "1234567890"; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/username@gmail.com/events/1234567890.ics");

Yahoo uses a different format for CalDAV access. Yahoo's ResourceURIs always start with "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/" plus your user name, plus "/Calendar/" plus the name of your calendar. For instance: "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Your_Name" for the default calendar. (Yahoo uses your name to create the default calendar). When using the CreateCalendar event to create a new calendar, replace "Your_Name" in the URI with the desired name of your new calendar. Event resources are located directly under the "/Calendar/Calendar_Name/" path. Like Google, the UID and filename portion of the resource URI must match, but Yahoo will actually return an HTTP protocol error if they differ. The examples below show a few possible transactions: CalDAV.User = "username"; CalDAV.Password = "password"; CalDAV.CreateCalendar("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/", "My Hockey Calendar", "My Hockey Calendar"); CalDAV.StartDate = "20100401T040000"; CalDAV.EndDate = "20100401T060000"; CalDAV.UID = "qwerty1234567"; CalDAV.Summary = "First Practice"; CalDAV.Location = "Rink on 1st and main"; CalDAV.EventType = vEvent; CalDAV.CreateEvent("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/qwerty1234567.ics"); CalDAV.GetCalendarReport("https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/username/Calendar/Hockey_Calendar/");

UpdateEvent Method (CalDAV Component)

Updates a calendar resource at the specified ResourceURI using the CalDAV PUT method.

Syntax

void __fastcall UpdateEvent(String ResourceURI);

Remarks

This method updates an existing event to the calendar collection at the specified ResourceURI. The ResourceURI must be a fully qualified URL to the location on the CalDAV server to which this event is saved.

NOTE: Some CalDAV servers (Yahoo for example) require that the UID and the filename portion of the URI match. For example, if the UID is "hello_world" then the ResourceURI parameter of the UpdateEvent should be "https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/user_name/Calendar/My_Calendar/hello_world.ics". If the UID and filename portion of the URI do not match, the Yahoo CalDAV server will return a "302 Found" response indicating that the requested resource resides under a different URI. (Meaning the event was not added to the calendar). NextCloud on the other hand doesn't have this requirement.

The following properties are used when creating a request with CreateEvent or ExportICS, and will be filled after calling GetEvent or ImportICS. These will also be available from inside the EventDetails event, which is fired for each event received from the CalDAV server in response to a GetCalendarReport.

Connected Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVConnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVConnectedEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVConnectedEvent OnConnected = { read=FOnConnected, write=FOnConnected };

Remarks

If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

ConnectionStatus Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String ConnectionEvent;
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipwCalDAVConnectionStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVConnectionStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVConnectionStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVConnectionStatusEvent OnConnectionStatus = { read=FOnConnectionStatus, write=FOnConnectionStatus };

Remarks

This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.

Disconnected Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipwCalDAVDisconnectedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVDisconnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVDisconnectedEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVDisconnectedEvent OnDisconnected = { read=FOnDisconnected, write=FOnDisconnected };

Remarks

If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

EndTransfer Event (CalDAV Component)

This event is fired when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
} TipwCalDAVEndTransferEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVEndTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVEndTransferEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVEndTransferEvent OnEndTransfer = { read=FOnEndTransfer, write=FOnEndTransfer };

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TipwCalDAVErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVErrorEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

EventDetails Event (CalDAV Component)

Fires for each calendar event received.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String ResourceURI;
  String ResponseStatus;
  String ETag;
  String CalendarData;
  String Summary;
} TipwCalDAVEventDetailsEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVEventDetailsEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVEventDetailsEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVEventDetailsEvent OnEventDetails = { read=FOnEventDetails, write=FOnEventDetails };

Remarks

This event fires for each VEVENT, VTODO, VJOURNAL, or VFREEBUSY event received in response to a GetCalendarReport request. The ResourceURI parameter indicates the location of this particular event on the CalDAV server, and the ETag parameter is used to indicate the current state of the calendar event. If the ETag is different from the value you have cached for the current ResourceURI, it means the event has changed on the server since the last time you updated your cache. ResponseStatus indicates the HTTP status of CalDAV server received when attempting to retrieve this particular ResourceURI when it was building the report. The CalendarData parameter contains the raw calendar entry as returned by the CalDAV server. This data is also parsed into the following properties, and are valid for the current ResourceURI only inside this event. The Summary parameter indicates the summary of this particular calendar event.

• Alarms
• Attendees
• Categories
• Classification
• Completed
• Created
• CustomProperties
• Depth
• Description
• Duration
• EndDate
• RelatedTo
• EventType
• LastModified
• Location
• Organizer
• Priority
• Recurrence
• Sequence
• StartDate
• Status
• Summary
• Timestamp
• Timezone
• Transparency
• UID
• URL

Note that for a large calendar you may not wish to return the full contents of each calendar event, as this could be a substantially large amount of data. In this case, set the ReportFilterReturnCalendarData property to false, and only the ResourceURI, ResponseStatus, and ETag parameters will be returned by the CalDAV server for each calendar event. The contents of the event will not be returned, and the CalendarData parameter will be empty.

*The ResourceURI and the URL property are not the same. The URL property is an iCal field, and the ResourceURI is the actual location of the resource on the CalDAV server. Some CalDAV servers may force the URL to match the ResourceURI, but the URL should be treated as a separate user-defined entity by the user, and it should not be expected to match the ResourceURI. Likewise, ResponseStatus and Status are not the same. Status is the status of the event (TENTATIVE, CONFIRMED, CANCELLED, etc). ResponseStatus is the HTTP status received when the CalDAV server attempted to retrieve the current event when constructing a report.

FreeBusy Event (CalDAV Component)

Fires for each Free/Busy element received in the response.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String BusyType;
  String BusyRange;
} TipwCalDAVFreeBusyEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVFreeBusyEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVFreeBusyEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVFreeBusyEvent OnFreeBusy = { read=FOnFreeBusy, write=FOnFreeBusy };

Remarks

This event fires for each FREEBUSY element received in response to a GetFreeBusyReport request. The FBTYPE will be contained in the BusyType parameter, and the FREEBUSY value itself will be contained in the BusyRange parameter. The Free/Busy information will also be stored in the FreeBusy collection.

Header Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Field;
  String Value;
} TipwCalDAVHeaderEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVHeaderEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVHeaderEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVHeaderEvent OnHeader = { read=FOnHeader, write=FOnHeader };

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

Log Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int LogLevel;
  String Message;
  String LogType;
} TipwCalDAVLogEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVLogEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVLogEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVLogEvent OnLog = { read=FOnLog, write=FOnLog };

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the component. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"
• "RequestHeaders"
• "ResponseHeaders"
• "RequestBody"
• "ResponseBody"
• "ProxyRequest"
• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

Redirect Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Location;
  bool Accept;
} TipwCalDAVRedirectEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVRedirectEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVRedirectEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVRedirectEvent OnRedirect = { read=FOnRedirect, write=FOnRedirect };

Remarks

This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the component raises an exception. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

SetCookie Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired for every cookie set by the server.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Name;
  String Value;
  String Expires;
  String Domain;
  String Path;
  bool Secure;
} TipwCalDAVSetCookieEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVSetCookieEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVSetCookieEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVSetCookieEvent OnSetCookie = { read=FOnSetCookie, write=FOnSetCookie };

Remarks

This event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.

The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.

The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.

The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.

The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.

The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
  String CertSubject;
  String CertIssuer;
  String Status;
  bool Accept;
} TipwCalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TipwCalDAVSSLStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVSSLStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (CalDAV Component)

This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
} TipwCalDAVStartTransferEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVStartTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVStartTransferEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVStartTransferEvent OnStartTransfer = { read=FOnStartTransfer, write=FOnStartTransfer };

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Status Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String HTTPVersion;
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipwCalDAVStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVStatusEvent OnStatus = { read=FOnStatus, write=FOnStatus };

Remarks

HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").

StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").

Transfer Event (CalDAV Component)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
  __int64 BytesTransferred;
  int PercentDone;
  String Text;
  DynamicArray<Byte> TextB;
} TipwCalDAVTransferEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwCalDAVTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwCalDAVTransferEventParams *e);
__property TipwCalDAVTransferEvent OnTransfer = { read=FOnTransfer, write=FOnTransfer };

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

Config Settings (CalDAV Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

CalDAV Config Settings

WebDAV Config Settings

HTTP Config Settings

TCPClient Config Settings

SSL Config Settings

Socket Config Settings

Base Config Settings

Trappable Errors (CalDAV Component)

CalDAV Errors

The component may also return one of the following error codes, which are inherited from other components.

HTTP Errors

The component may also return one of the following error codes, which are inherited from other components.
