This then assumes VTIMEZONE is populated by other means - such > as tzdist :) For those of you that have been very active on this list for a while - I applaud you patience as I try to understand the draft for the first time. Thank You All! (Not talking CALDAV - talking the process). It will not do any good if there is no way to refer to everything that is needed and I am going through the process step by step in my head to make sure I have everything I need. I agree that TZID is not sufficient unless it contains source information about the source of the TZID. TZURL is in 5545 and it seems a logical usage for tzdist, yet I can not find it in the draft-service or draft-caldav. (maybe this is to be covered in a later draft?) Was it the intention that TZURL be mandated in events when not including VTIMEZONE so you can find the TZID definition used by the originator? In some later draft? For version, how about add a parameter to TZURL that contains the last-modified value from that URL as the version? TZURL;LAST-MODIFIED=20121212T201329Z:http://zones.example.com/tz/America-New_York.ics *Or* another way it could be done is to add it as a parameter to the URL: TZURL:http//zones.example.com/tz/America-New_York.ics?last-modified=20121212T201329Z The URL parameter would not require an update to the TZURL ABNF. Then at least you know the VTIMEZONE the organizer intended, the source of the TZID and their version. It allows for checking against your cache. And it allows for some out of band discussion about the organizer not having the newest version of the TZ data. When checking against your cache, you check against the URL host+path and last-modified in your cache. You can always fetch the newest version from the URL to determine if there have been any TZ data updates. The TZURL would also allow for disambiguation of TZID values as described in draft-service, section 3.5 The HTTP GET could be modified to allow for fetching by last-modified. Would this ever need to be done? It would allow for anyone to get the version the organizer was using. Or is it sufficient to know they (or you or both) are out of date and renegotiate the meeting times? GET /zones/America%2FNew_York ?last-modified=20121212T201329Z >> Many of my customers have off-line secure systems and the updates to the >> TZ database will be manual.
