 CalendarServer currently does not support retrieving regular VFREEBUSY
 (.vfb, .ifb) resources via a regular HTTP GET.

 Support for GETable freebusy files would be very helpful since almost any
 calendar client (including Outlook) already supports that.

 My suggestion is to add a virtual 'freebusy.ifb' resource below each
 calendar _and_ one below each principal. Example:

 {{{
   /users/user01/calendar/freebusy.ifb
   /principals/__uids__/user01/freebusy.ifb
 }}}

 Another option would be
 {{{
   /users/user01/calendar.ifb
 }}}

 It would be very good for caching if the resources would have an etag. Eg
 in the case of calendar collection freebusy resources that could be
 derived from the collections ctag.
