i wonder the alternative for a calendar protocol based on HTTP is for
a MKCALENDAR method - SOAP?
No, just use normal HTTP methods. PUT with a calendar media type
creates a collection by that name with a default representation
of the calendar, containing links for adding new entries (POST)
and identifying existing entries (which can be obtained via GET
and changed via PUT and DELETE). There is no need for resource-
specific additions like MKCALENDAR and OPTIONS. Everything that
needs to be communicated can be described directly within the
calendar media type rather than in HTTP protocol changes.
