[CalendarServer-users] Older iCal works...sometimes

[Douglas O'Connor]

Hello again,

I have found that I can still publish to the DCS with the older 10.4  
iCal (v2.0), which the online documentation says is not compatible,  
as long as it is done in the root directory and with the admin/admin  
uid/pwd. For example, publishing to http://www.servername.edu:8008/  
with admin/admin is no problem. It has a problem unpublishing, but  
the ability to publish and subscribe is there for older versions of  
iCal.

I am wondering if, since it is possible for this to happen on the  
root dir with the admin guid, can I somehow config DCS to let it  
happen across the server, in other dir structures? Is there a reason  
why I wouldn't want this? Normally when I try this, I get: Calendar  
data does not conform to CalDAV requirements: METHOD property is not  
allowed in CalDAV iCalendar data. But it seems important that servers  
be somewhat backwards compatible, so that not everybody has to go out  
and buy new software in order to take advantage. Additionally, why  
wouldn't I receive the same error message as an admin/admin  
publishing to the root dir?

Any ideas would be welcome, thank you all very much for helping out.
