Re: xDAV and shared namespaces

Hi Ken,

Basically, the shared calendar is working fine in Thunderbird, where I 
can specify the exact URL. But I can't make it work on iPhone as it only 
takes the server and later resolves the exact URL via 
/.well-known/caldav which points to the personal calendar for the same 
user. Though, if I specify on iPhone the exact URL in the settings, it 
queries it:

Mar 19 03:27:42 l https[18199]: [10.1.1.100] with "iOS/11.2.6 (15D100) 
dataaccessd/1.0"; "PROPFIND /dav/calendars/shared/ HTTP/1.1" (depth=0) 
=> "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized" (error=Must authenticate to access the 
specified target)
Mar 19 03:27:42 l https[18199]: login: [10.1.1.100] [email protected] Basic+TLS 
User logged in SESSIONID=<xxx.com-18199-1521440862-1-11826509860795088158>
Mar 19 03:27:42 l https[18199]: [10.1.1.100] as "[email protected]" with 
"iOS/11.2.6 (15D100) dataaccessd/1.0"; "PROPFIND /dav/calendars/shared/ 
HTTP/1.1" (type=prop; depth=0) => "HTTP/1.1 207 Multi-Status"
Mar 19 03:27:42 l https[18199]: login: [10.1.1.100] [email protected] Basic+TLS 
User logged in SESSIONID=<xxx.com-18199-1521440862-1-11826509860795088158>
Mar 19 03:27:42 l https[18199]: [10.1.1.100] as "[email protected]" with 
"iOS/11.2.6 (15D100) dataaccessd/1.0"; "OPTIONS /dav/calendars/shared/ 
HTTP/1.1" => "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"

But finally, iPhone Calendar app doesn't show events from the shared 
calendar and in the Accounts the URL resets to the naked domain (i.e. 
without the /dav/calendars/shared/ part). What could be done to make it 
work?

Thanks,
Anatoli

Its entirely possible that the URL parsing code for CalDAV and CardDAV 
will not resolve to a shared folder.  Let me know.
