If you do an HTTP GET on the calendar collection (rather than the .ics 
resources within that) the server will return you a single .ics file with 
the "rolled-up" calendar data from all the .ics resources in the collection.

This provides a read-only view of a CalDAV calendar that non-CalDAV clients 
can subscribe to.
