Please support ctags! <propfind xmlns="DAV:" xmlns:CS="http://calendarserver.org/ns/";> <prop> <CS:getctag/> </prop> </propfind> The CalDAV backend currently [recently] supports this. If the ctag matches what was present before then all-stop. Reporting e-tags is pretty fast, but even then etags on >10,000 objects is quite a response.
