CalDAV. What to do with MKCALENDAR request?
In CalDAV, new calendar is made via non-standard HTTP request MKCALENDAR. Current version of NodeJS have no support for non-standard custom methods like this one (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/nodejs/0KDuxleCoxE/oVDCzka_4nYJ).
What workaround can be recommended for this?
One of possible workarounds is to setup a frontend server (like Nginx or else) and rewrite this method to some other (POST maybe?) and add special header (X-Original-Method: MKCALENDAR) then on NodeJS side rewrite it back before passing to DAV server
Another possible workaround is to implement some HTTP-server with node-parsely (https://github.com/substack/node-parsley) and create some custom objects implementing request/response public API, when pass them to DAV server
Apparently it all boils down to https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/3192 -> https://github.com/joyent/http-parser/pull/158
Did you try the method in last message of this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/nodejs/0KDuxleCoxE/oVDCzka_4nYJ, may be the random dropping behaviour was solved in latest nodes.
@aenario no, I'm not. Just discovered this issue last night. Still discovering.
I think I will use front-end method in my case (I'm already have Nginx instance in front of my CalDAV server)
