RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 20111.  Introduction and Overview   Address books containing contact information are a key component of   personal information management tools, such as email, calendaring and   scheduling, and instant messaging clients.  To date several protocols   have been used for remote access to contact data, including the   Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC4510], Internet   Message Support Protocol [IMSP], and Application Configuration Access   Protocol (ACAP) [RFC2244], together with SyncML used for   synchronization of such data.   WebDAV [RFC4918] offers a number of advantages as a framework or   basis for address book access and management.  Most of these   advantages boil down to a significant reduction in the costs of   design, implementation, interoperability testing, and deployment.   The key features of address book support with WebDAV are:   1.  Ability to use multiple address books with hierarchical layout.   2.  Ability to control access to individual address books and address       entries as per WebDAV Access Control List (ACL) [RFC3744].   3.  Principal collections can be used to enumerate and query other       users on the system as per WebDAV ACL [RFC3744].   4.  Server-side searching of address data, avoiding the need for       clients to download an entire address book in order to do a quick       address 'expansion' operation.   5.  Well-defined internationalization support through WebDAV's use of       XML.   6.  Use of vCards [RFC2426] for well-defined address schema to       enhance client interoperability.   7.  Many limited clients (e.g., mobile devices) contain an HTTP stack       that makes implementing WebDAV much easier than other protocols.   The key disadvantage of address book support in WebDAV is:   1.  Lack of change notification.  Many of the alternative protocols       also lack this ability.  However, an extension for push       notifications could easily be developed.   vCard is a MIME directory profile aimed at encapsulating personal   addressing and contact information about people.  The specification   of vCard was originally done by the Versit consortium, with aDaboo                        Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   subsequent 3.0 version standardized by the IETF [RFC2426]. vCard is   in widespread use in email clients and mobile devices as a means of   encapsulating address information for transport via email or for   import/export and synchronization operations.   An update to vCard -- vCard v4 -- is currently being developed   [RFC6350] and is compatible with this specification.2.  Conventions   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].   The term "protected" is used in the Conformance field of property   definitions as defined inSection 15 of [RFC4918].   This document uses XML DTD fragments ([W3C.REC-xml-20081126],Section3.2) as a purely notational convention.  WebDAV request and response   bodies cannot be validated by a DTD due to the specific extensibility   rules defined inSection 17 of [RFC4918] and due to the fact that all   XML elements defined by that specification use the XML namespace name   "DAV:".  In particular:   1.  Element names use the "DAV:" namespace.   2.  Element ordering is irrelevant unless explicitly stated.   3.  Extension elements (elements not already defined as valid child       elements) may be added anywhere, except when explicitly stated       otherwise.   4.  Extension attributes (attributes not already defined as valid for       this element) may be added anywhere, except when explicitly       stated otherwise.   The namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav" is reserved for the   XML elements defined in this specification, its revisions, and   related CardDAV specifications.  XML elements defined by individual   implementations MUST NOT use the "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav"   namespace, and instead should use a namespace that they control.   When XML element types in the namespaces "DAV:" and   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav" are referenced in this document   outside of the context of an XML fragment, the strings "DAV:" and   "CARDDAV:" will be prefixed to the element types, respectively.Daboo                        Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   This document inherits, and sometimes extends, DTD productions fromSection 14 of [RFC4918].   Also, note that some CardDAV XML element names are identical to   WebDAV XML element names, though their namespace differs.  Care must   be taken not to confuse the two sets of names.3.  Requirements Overview   This section lists what functionality is required of a CardDAV   server.  To advertise support for CardDAV, a server:   o  MUST support vCard v3 [RFC2426] as a media type for the address      object resource format;   o  MUST support WebDAV Class 3 [RFC4918];   o  MUST support WebDAV ACL [RFC3744];   o  MUST support secure transport as defined in [RFC2818] using      Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246] and using the certificate      validation procedures described in [RFC5280];   o  MUST support ETags [RFC2616] with additional requirements      specified inSection 6.3.2.3 of this document;   o  MUST support all address book reports defined inSection 8 of this      document; and   o  MUST advertise support on all address book collections and address      object resources for the address book reports in the      DAV:supported-report-set property, as defined in Versioning      Extensions to WebDAV [RFC3253].   In addition, a server:   o  SHOULD support vCard v4 [RFC6350] as a media type for the address      object resource format;   o  SHOULD support the extended MKCOL method [RFC5689] to create      address book collections as defined inSection 6.3.1 of this      document.   o  SHOULD support the DAV:current-user-principal-URL property as      defined in [RFC5397] to give clients a fast way to locate user      principals.Daboo                        Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 20114.  Address Book Data Model   As a brief overview, a CardDAV address book is modeled as a WebDAV   collection with a well-defined structure; each of these address book   collections contains a number of resources representing address   objects as their direct child resources.  Each resource representing   an address object is called an "address object resource".  Each   address object resource and each address book collection can be   individually locked and have individual WebDAV properties.   Requirements derived from this model are provided in Sections5.1 and   5.2.4.1.  Address Book Server   A CardDAV server is an address-aware engine combined with a WebDAV   server.  The server may include address data in some parts of its URL   namespace and non-address data in other parts.   A WebDAV server can advertise itself as a CardDAV server if it   supports the functionality defined in this specification at any point   within the root of its repository.  That might mean that address data   is spread throughout the repository and mixed with non-address data   in nearby collections (e.g., address data may be found in /lisa/   addressbook/ as well as in /bernard/addressbook/, and non-address   data in /lisa/calendars/).  Or, it might mean that address data can   be found only in certain sections of the repository (e.g.,   /addressbooks/user/).  Address book features are only required in the   repository sections that are or contain address objects.  So, a   repository confining address data to the /carddav/ collection would   only need to support the CardDAV required features within that   collection.   The CardDAV server is the canonical location for address data and   state information.  Clients may submit requests to change data or   download data.  Clients may store address objects offline and attempt   to synchronize at a later time.  Address data on the server can   change between the time of last synchronization and when attempting   an update, as address book collections may be shared and accessible   via multiple clients.  Entity tags and locking help this work.5.  Address Book Resources5.1.  Address Object Resources   This specification uses vCard as the default format for address or   contact information being stored on the server.  However, this   specification does allow other formats for address data provided that   the server advertises support for those additional formats asDaboo                        Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   described below.  The requirements in this section pertain to vCard   address data or formats that follow the semantics of vCard data.   Address object resources contained in address book collections MUST   contain a single vCard component only.   vCard components in an address book collection MUST have a UID   property value that MUST be unique in the scope of the address book   collection in which it is contained.5.1.1.  Data Type Conversion   Servers might support more than one primary media type for address   object resources, for example, vCard v3.0 and vCard v4.0.  In such   cases, servers have to accept all media types that they advertise via   the CARDDAV:supported-address-data WebDAV property (seeSection 6.2.2).   However, clients can use standard HTTP content negotiation behavior   (the Accept request header defined inSection 14.1 of [RFC2616]) to   request that an address object resource's data be returned in a   specific media type format.  For example, a client merely capable of   handling vCard v3.0 would only want to have address object resources   returned in v3.0 format.   Additionally, REPORT requests, defined later in this specification,   allow for the return of address object resource data within an XML   response body.  Again, the client can use content negotiation to   request that data be returned in a specific media type by specifying   appropriate attributes on the CARDDAV:address-data XML element used   in the request body (seeSection 10.4).   In some cases, it might not be possible for a server to convert from   one media type to another.  When that happens, the server MUST return   the CARDDAV:supported-address-data-conversion precondition (see   below) in the response body (when the failure to convert applies to   the entire response) or use that same precondition code in the   DAV:response XML element in the response for the targeted address   object resource when one of the REPORTs defined below is used.  SeeSection 8.7.2 for an example of this.5.1.1.1.  Additional Precondition for GET   This specification creates additional preconditions for the GET   method.Daboo                        Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   The new precondition is:      (CARDDAV:supported-address-data-conversion): The resource targeted      by the GET request can be converted to the media type specified in      the Accept request header included with the request.5.2.  Address Book Collections   Address book collections appear to clients as a WebDAV collection   resource, identified by a URL.  An address book collection MUST   report the DAV:collection and CARDDAV:addressbook XML elements in the   value of the DAV:resourcetype property.  The element type declaration   for CARDDAV:addressbook is:       <!ELEMENT addressbook EMPTY>   An address book collection can be created through provisioning (e.g.,   automatically created when a user's account is provisioned), or it   can be created with the extended MKCOL method (seeSection 6.3.1).   This can be used by a user to create additional address books (e.g.,   "soccer team members") or for users to share an address book (e.g.,   "sales team contacts").  However, note that this document doesn't   define what extra address book collections are for.  Users must rely   on non-standard cues to find out what an address book collection is   for, or use the CARDDAV:addressbook-description property defined inSection 6.2.1 to provide such a cue.   The following restrictions are applied to the resources within an   address book collection:   a.  Address book collections MUST only contain address object       resources and collections that are not address book collections.       That is, the only "top-level" non-collection resources allowed in       an address book collection are address object resources.  This       ensures that address book clients do not have to deal with non-       address data in an address book collection, though they do have       to distinguish between address object resources and collections       when using standard WebDAV techniques to examine the contents of       a collection.   b.  Collections contained in address book collections MUST NOT       contain address book collections at any depth.  That is,       "nesting" of address book collections within other address book       collections at any depth is not allowed.  This specification does       not define how collections contained in an address book       collection are used or how they relate to any address object       resources contained in the address book collection.Daboo                        Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   Multiple address book collections MAY be children of the same   collection.6.  Address Book Feature6.1.  Address Book Support   A server supporting the features described in this document MUST   include "addressbook" as a field in the DAV response header from an   OPTIONS request on any resource that supports any address book   properties, reports, or methods.  A value of "addressbook" in the DAV   response header MUST indicate that the server supports all MUST level   requirements and REQUIRED features specified in this document.6.1.1.  Example: Using OPTIONS for the Discovery of Support for CardDAV   >> Request <<   OPTIONS /addressbooks/users/ HTTP/1.1   Host: addressbook.example.com   >> Response <<   HTTP/1.1 200 OK   Allow: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, COPY, MOVE   Allow: MKCOL, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK, REPORT, ACL   DAV: 1, 2, 3, access-control, addressbook   DAV: extended-mkcol   Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 09:32:12 GMT   Content-Length: 0   In this example, the OPTIONS response indicates that the server   supports CardDAV in this namespace; therefore, the '/addressbooks/   users/' collection may be used as a parent for address book   collections as the extended MKCOL method is available and as a   possible target for REPORT requests for address book reports.6.2.  Address Book Properties6.2.1.  CARDDAV:addressbook-description Property   Name:  addressbook-description   Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav   Purpose:  Provides a human-readable description of the address book      collection.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 10]

Creating Resources   Address book collections and address object resources may be created   by either a CardDAV client or the CardDAV server.  This specification   defines restrictions and a data model that both clients and servers   MUST adhere to when manipulating such address data.6.3.1.  Extended MKCOL Method   An HTTP request using the extended MKCOL method [RFC5689] can be used   to create a new address book collection resource.  A server MAY   restrict address book collection creation to particular collections.   To create an address book, the client sends an extended MKCOL request   to the server and in the body of the request sets the   DAV:resourcetype property to the resource type for an address book   collection as defined inSection 5.2.   Support for creating address books on the server is only RECOMMENDED   and not REQUIRED because some address book stores only support one   address book per user (or principal), and those are typically pre-   created for each account.  However, servers and clients are strongly   encouraged to support address book creation whenever possible to   allow users to create multiple address book collections to help   organize their data better.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   The DAV:displayname property can be used for a human-readable name of   the address book.  Clients can either specify the value of the   DAV:displayname property in the request body of the extended MKCOL   request or, alternatively, issue a PROPPATCH request to change the   DAV:displayname property to the appropriate value immediately after   using the extended MKCOL request.  When displaying address book   collections to users, clients SHOULD check the DAV:displayname   property and use that value as the name of the address book.  In the   event that the DAV:displayname property is not set, the client MAY   use the last part of the address book collection URI as the name;   however, that path segment may be "opaque" and not represent any   meaningful human-readable text.6.3.1.1.  Example - Successful MKCOL Request   This example creates an address book collection called /home/lisa/   addressbook/ on the server addressbook.example.com with specific   values for the properties DAV:resourcetype, DAV:displayname, and   CARDDAV:addressbook-description.   >> Request <<   MKCOL /home/lisa/addressbook/ HTTP/1.1   Host: addressbook.example.com   Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"   Content-Length: xxx   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>   <D:mkcol xmlns:D="DAV:"                 xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav">     <D:set>       <D:prop>         <D:resourcetype>           <D:collection/>           <C:addressbook/>         </D:resourcetype>         <D:displayname>Lisa's Contacts</D:displayname>         <C:addressbook-description xml:lang="en"   >My primary address book.</C:addressbook-description>       </D:prop>     </D:set>   </D:mkcol>Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 14]

Creating Address Object Resources   Clients populate address book collections with address object   resources.  The URL for each address object resource is entirely   arbitrary and does not need to bear a specific relationship (but   might) to the address object resource's vCard properties or other   metadata.  New address object resources MUST be created with a PUT   request targeted at an unmapped URI.  A PUT request targeted at a   mapped URI updates an existing address object resource.   When servers create new resources, it's not hard for the server to   choose a unique URL.  It's slightly tougher for clients, because a   client might not want to examine all resources in the collection and   might not want to lock the entire collection to ensure that a new one   isn't created with a name collision.  However, there is an HTTP   feature to mitigate this.  If the client intends to create a new   address resource, the client SHOULD use the HTTP header "If-None-   Match: *" on the PUT request.  The Request-URI on the PUT request   MUST include the target collection, where the resource is to be   created, plus the name of the resource in the last path segment.  The   "If-None-Match" header ensures that the client will not inadvertently   overwrite an existing resource even if the last path segment turned   out to already be used.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 15]

File names for vCards are commonly suffixed by ".vcf", and clients   may choose to use the same convention for URLs.6.3.2.1.  Additional Preconditions for PUT, COPY, and MOVE   This specification creates additional preconditions for the PUT,   COPY, and MOVE methods.  These preconditions apply:   o  When a PUT operation of an address object resource into an address      book collection occurs.   o  When a COPY or MOVE operation of an address object resource into      an address book collection occurs.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 16]

(CARDDAV:valid-address-data): The resource submitted in the PUT      request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request, MUST be valid data      for the media type being specified (i.e., MUST contain valid vCard      data).      (CARDDAV:no-uid-conflict): The resource submitted in the PUT      request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request, MUST NOT specify a      vCard UID property value already in use in the targeted address      book collection or overwrite an existing address object resource      with one that has a different UID property value.  Servers SHOULD      report the URL of the resource that is already making use of the      same UID property value in the DAV:href element.          <!ELEMENT no-uid-conflict (DAV:href)>      (CARDDAV:addressbook-collection-location-ok): In a COPY or MOVE      request, when the Request-URI is an address book collection, the      URI targeted by the Destination HTTP Request header MUST identify      a location where an address book collection can be created.      (CARDDAV:max-resource-size): The resource submitted in the PUT      request, or targeted by a COPY or MOVE request, MUST have a size      in octets less than or equal to the value of the      CARDDAV:max-resource-size property value (Section 6.2.3) on the      address book collection where the resource will be stored.6.3.2.2.  Non-Standard vCard Properties and Parameters   vCard provides a "standard mechanism for doing non-standard things".   This extension support allows implementers to make use of non-   standard vCard properties and parameters whose names are prefixed   with the text "X-".   Servers MUST support the use of non-standard properties and   parameters in address object resources stored via the PUT method.   Servers may need to enforce rules for their own "private" properties   or parameters, so servers MAY reject any attempt by the client to   change those or use values for those outside of any restrictions the   server may have.  A server SHOULD ensure that any "private"Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 17]

Address Object Resource Entity Tag   The DAV:getetag property MUST be defined and set to a strong entity   tag on all address object resources.   A response to a GET request targeted at an address object resource   MUST contain an ETag response header field indicating the current   value of the strong entity tag of the address object resource.   Servers SHOULD return a strong entity tag (ETag header) in a PUT   response when the stored address object resource is equivalent by   octet equality to the address object resource submitted in the body   of the PUT request.  This allows clients to reliably use the returned   strong entity tag for data synchronization purposes.  For instance,   the client can do a PROPFIND request on the stored address object   resource, have the DAV:getetag property returned, compare that value   with the strong entity tag it received on the PUT response, and know   that if they are equal, then the address object resource on the   server has not been changed.   In the case where the data stored by a server as a result of a PUT   request is not equivalent by octet equality to the submitted address   object resource, the behavior of the ETag response header is not   specified here, with the exception that a strong entity tag MUST NOT   be returned in the response.  As a result, a client may need to   retrieve the modified address object resource (and ETag) as a basis   for further changes, rather than use the address object resource it   had sent with the PUT request.7.  Address Book Access Control   CardDAV servers MUST support and adhere to the requirements of WebDAV   ACL [RFC3744].  WebDAV ACL provides a framework for an extensible set   of privileges that can be applied to WebDAV collections and ordinary   resources.7.1.

Address Book Reports   This section defines the reports that CardDAV servers MUST support on   address book collections and address object resources.   CardDAV servers MUST advertise support for these reports on all   address book collections and address object resources with the   DAV:supported-report-set property defined inSection 3.1.5 of   [RFC3253].  CardDAV servers MAY also advertise support for these   reports on ordinary collections.   Some of these reports allow address data (from possibly multiple   resources) to be returned.8.1.  REPORT Method   The REPORT method (defined inSection 3.6 of [RFC3253]) provides an   extensible mechanism for obtaining information about a resource.   Unlike the PROPFIND method, which returns the value of one or more   named properties, the REPORT method can involve more complexDaboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 20]

REPORT is valuable in cases where the server has access   to all of the information needed to perform the complex request (such   as a query), and where it would require multiple requests for the   client to retrieve the information needed to perform the same   request.   A server that supports this specification MUST support the   DAV:expand-property report (defined inSection 3.8 of [RFC3253]).8.2.  Ordinary Collections   Servers MAY support the reports defined in this document on ordinary   collections (collections that are not address book collections) in   addition to address book collections or address object resources.  In   computing responses to the reports on ordinary collections, servers   MUST only consider address object resources contained in address book   collections that are targeted by the REPORT based on the value of the   Depth request header.8.3.  Searching Text: Collations   Some of the reports defined in this section do text matches of   character strings provided by the client and compared to stored   address data.  Since vCard data is by default encoded in the UTF-8   charset and may include characters outside of the US-ASCII charset   range in some property and parameter values, there is a need to   ensure that text matching follows well-defined rules.   To deal with this, this specification makes use of the IANA Collation   Registry defined in [RFC4790] to specify collations that may be used   to carry out the text comparison operations with a well-defined rule.   Collations supported by the server MUST support "equality" and   "substring" match operations as per[RFC4790], Section 4.2, including   the "prefix" and "suffix" options for "substring" matching.  CardDAV   uses these match options for "equals", "contains", "starts-with", and   "ends-with" match operations.   CardDAV servers are REQUIRED to support the "i;ascii-casemap"   [RFC4790] and "i;unicode-casemap" [RFC5051] collations and MAY   support other collations.   Servers MUST advertise the set of collations that they support via   the CARDDAV:supported-collation-set property defined on any resource   that supports reports that use collations.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 21]

Wildcards (as defined in[RFC4790], Section 3.2) MUST NOT be used in   the collation identifier.   If the client chooses a collation not supported by the server, the   server MUST respond with a CARDDAV:supported-collation precondition   error response.8.3.1.

Partial Retrieval   Some address book reports defined in this document allow partial   retrieval of address object resources.  A CardDAV client can specify   what information to return in the body of an address book REPORT   request.   A CardDAV client can request particular WebDAV property values, all   WebDAV property values, or a list of the names of the resource's   WebDAV properties.  A CardDAV client can also request address data to   be returned and whether all vCard properties should be returned or   only particular ones.  See CARDDAV:address-data inSection 10.4.8.5.  Non-Standard Properties and Parameters   Servers MUST support the use of non-standard vCard property or   parameter names in the CARDDAV:address-data XML element in address   book REPORT requests to allow clients to request that non-standard   properties and parameters be returned in the address data provided in   the response.   Servers MAY support the use of non-standard vCard property or   parameter names in the CARDDAV:prop-filter and CARDDAV:param-filter   XML elements specified in the CARDDAV:filter XML element of address   book REPORT requests.   Servers MUST fail with the CARDDAV:supported-filter precondition if   an address book REPORT request uses a CARDDAV:prop-filter or   CARDDAV:param-filter XML element that makes reference to a non-   standard vCard property or parameter name on which the server does   not support queries.8.6.

The format of this report is modeled on the PROPFIND method.  The   request and response bodies of the CARDDAV:addressbook-query report   use XML elements that are also used by PROPFIND.  In particular, the   request can include XML elements to request WebDAV properties to be   returned.  When that occurs, the response should follow the same   behavior as PROPFIND with respect to the DAV:multistatus response   elements used to return specific WebDAV property results.  For   instance, a request to retrieve the value of a WebDAV property that   does not exist is an error and MUST be noted with a response XML   element that contains a 404 (Not Found) status value.   Support for the CARDDAV:addressbook-query REPORT is REQUIRED.   Marshalling:      The request body MUST be a CARDDAV:addressbook-query XML element      as defined inSection 10.3.      The request MUST include a Depth header.  The scope of the query      is determined by the value of the Depth header.  For example, to      query all address object resources in an address book collection,      the REPORT would use the address book collection as the Request-      URI and specify a Depth of 1 or infinity.      The response body for a successful request MUST be a      DAV:multistatus XML element (i.e., the response uses the same      format as the response for PROPFIND).  In the case where there are      no response elements, the returned DAV:multistatus XML element is      empty.      The response body for a successful CARDDAV:addressbook-query      REPORT request MUST contain a DAV:response element for each      address object that matched the search filter.  Address data is      returned in the CARDDAV:address-data XML element inside the      DAV:propstat XML element.   Preconditions:      (CARDDAV:supported-address-data): The attributes "content-type"      and "version" of the CARDDAV:address-data XML element (seeSection 10.4) specify a media type supported by the server for      address object resources.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 24]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011      (CARDDAV:supported-filter): The CARDDAV:prop-filter (seeSection 10.5.1) and CARDDAV:param-filter (seeSection 10.5.2) XML      elements used in the CARDDAV:filter XML element (seeSection 10.5)      in the REPORT request only make reference to vCard properties and      parameters for which queries are supported by the server.  That      is, if the CARDDAV:filter element attempts to reference an      unsupported vCard property or parameter, this precondition is      violated.  A server SHOULD report the CARDDAV:prop-filter or      CARDDAV:param-filter for which it does not provide support.          <!ELEMENT supported-filter (prop-filter*,                                      param-filter*)>      (CARDDAV:supported-collation): Any XML attribute specifying a      collation MUST specify a collation supported by the server as      described inSection 8.3.   Postconditions:      (DAV:number-of-matches-within-limits): The number of matching      address object resources must fall within server-specific,      predefined limits.  For example, this condition might be triggered      if a search specification would cause the return of an extremely      large number of responses.8.6.1.  Limiting Results   A client can limit the number of results returned by the server   through use of the CARDDAV:limit element in the request body.  This   is useful when clients are only interested in a few matches or only   have limited space to display results to users and thus don't need   the overhead of receiving more than that.  When the results are   truncated by the server, the server MUST follow the rules below for   indicating a result set truncation to the client.8.6.2.  Truncation of Results   A server MAY limit the number of resources in a response, for   example, to limit the amount of work expended in processing a query,   or as the result of an explicit limit set by the client.  If the   result set is truncated because of such a limit, the response MUST   use status code 207 (Multi-Status), return a DAV:multistatus response   body, and indicate a status of 507 (Insufficient Storage) for the   Request-URI.  That DAV:response element SHOULD include a DAV:error   element with the DAV:number-of-matches-within-limits precondition, as   defined in[RFC3744], Section 9.2.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 25]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   The server SHOULD also include the partial results in additional   DAV:response elements.  If a client-requested limit is being applied,   the 507 response for the Request-URI MUST NOT be included in   calculating the limit (e.g., if the client requests that only a   single result be returned, and multiple matches are present, then the   DAV:multistatus response will include one DAV:response for the   matching resource and one DAV:response for the 507 status on the   Request-URI).8.6.3.  Example: Partial Retrieval of vCards Matching NICKNAME   In this example, the client requests that the server search for   address object resources that contain a NICKNAME property whose value   equals some specific text and return specific vCard properties for   those vCards found.

This report is   similar to the CARDDAV:addressbook-query REPORT (seeSection 8.6),   except that it takes a list of DAV:href elements instead of a   CARDDAV:filter element to determine which address object resources to   return.   Support for the addressbook-multiget REPORT is REQUIRED.   Marshalling:      The request body MUST be a CARDDAV:addressbook-multiget XML      element (seeSection 10.7), which MUST contain at least one      DAV:href XML element and one optional CARDDAV:address-data element      as defined inSection 10.4.  If DAV:href elements are present, the      scope of the request is the set of resources identified by these      elements, which all need to be members (not necessarily internal      members) of the resource identified by the Request-URI.      Otherwise, the scope is the resource identified by the Request-URI      itself.      The request MUST include a Depth: 0 header; however, the actual      scope of the REPORT is determined as described above.      The response body for a successful request MUST be a      DAV:multistatus XML element.      The response body for a successful CARDDAV:addressbook-multiget      REPORT request MUST contain a DAV:response element for each      address object resource referenced by the provided set of DAV:href      elements.  Address data is returned in the CARDDAV:address-data      element inside the DAV:prop element.      In the case of an error accessing any of the provided DAV:href      resources, the server MUST return the appropriate error status      code in the DAV:status element of the corresponding DAV:response      element.Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 31]

RFC 6352                         CardDAV                     August 2011   However, if a client needs to make a change to a vCard, it can only   change the entire vCard data via a PUT request.  There is no way to   incrementally make a change to a set of properties within a vCard   object resource.  As a result, the client will have to cache the   entire set of properties on a resource that is being changed.9.2.  Avoiding Lost Updates   When resources are accessed by multiple clients, the possibility of   clients overwriting each other's changes exists.  To alleviate this,   clients SHOULD use the If-Match request header on PUT requests with   the ETag of the previously retrieved resource data to check whether   the resource was modified since it was previously retrieved.  If a   precondition failure occurs, clients need to reload the resource and   go through their own merge or conflict resolution process before   writing back the data (again using the If-Match check).9.3.  Client Configuration   When CardDAV clients need to be configured, the key piece of   information that they require is the principal-URL of the user whose   address book information is desired.  Servers SHOULD support the   DAV:current-user-principal-URL property as defined in [RFC5397] to   give clients a fast way to locate user principals.   Given support for SRV records (Section 11) and DAV:current-user-   principal-URL [RFC5397], users only need enter a user identifier,   host name, and password to configure their client.  The client would   take the host name and do an SRV lookup to locate the CardDAV server,   then execute an authenticated PROPFIND on the root/resource looking   for the DAV:current-user-principal-URL property.  The value returned   gives the client direct access to the user's principal-URL and from   there all the related CardDAV properties needed to locate address   books.9.4.  Finding Other Users' Address Books   For use cases of address book sharing, one might wish to find the   address book belonging to another user.  To find other users' address   books on the same server, the DAV:principal-property-search REPORT   [RFC3744] can be used to search principals for matching properties   and return specified properties for the matching principal resources.   To search for an address book owned by a user named "Laurie", the   REPORT request body would look like this:Daboo                        Standards Track                   [Page 35]

CARDDAV:prop XML Element   Name:  prop   Namespace:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav   Purpose:  Defines which vCard properties to return in the response.   Description:  The "name" attribute specifies the name of the vCard      property to return (e.g., "NICKNAME").  The "novalue" attribute      can be used by clients to request that the actual value of the      property not be returned (if the "novalue" attribute is set to      "yes").  In that case, the server will return just the vCard      property name and any vCard parameters and a trailing ":" without      the subsequent value data.      vCard allows a "group" prefix to appear before a property name in      the vCard data.  When the "name" attribute does not specify a      group prefix, it MUST match properties in the vCard data without a      group prefix or with any group prefix.  When the "name" attribute      includes a group prefix, it MUST match properties that have      exactly the same group prefix and name.  For example, a "name" set      to "TEL" will match "TEL", "X-ABC.TEL", and "X-ABC-1.TEL" vCard      properties.

In the absence of      this attribute, the server MUST use the "i;unicode-casemap"      collation.      The "negate-condition" attribute is used to indicate that this      test returns a match if the text matches, when the attribute value      is set to "no", or return a match if the text does not match, if      the attribute value is set to "yes".

Service Discovery via SRV Records   [RFC2782] defines a DNS-based service discovery protocol that has   been widely adopted as a means of locating particular services within   a local area network and beyond, using SRV RRs.   This specification adds two service types for use with SRV records:   carddav:  Identifies a CardDAV server that uses HTTP without TLS      [RFC2818].   carddavs:  Identifies a CardDAV server that uses HTTP with TLS      [RFC2818].   Example: non-TLS service record       _carddav._tcp     SRV 0 1 80 addressbook.example.com.   Example: TLS service       _carddavs._tcp    SRV 0 1 443 addressbook.example.com.12.  Internationalization Considerations   CardDAV allows internationalized strings to be stored and retrieved   for the description of address book collections (seeSection 6.2.1).   The CARDDAV:addressbook-query REPORT (Section 8.6) includes a text   searching option controlled by the CARDDAV:text-match element and   details of character handling are covered in the description of that   element (seeSection 10.5.4).13.  Security Considerations   HTTP protocol transactions are sent in the clear over the network   unless protection from snooping is negotiated.  This can be   accomplished by use of TLS as defined in [RFC2818].  In particular,   if HTTP Basic authentication [RFC2617] is available, the server MUST   allow TLS to be used at the same time, and it SHOULD prevent use of   Basic authentication when TLS is not in use.  Clients SHOULD use TLS   whenever possible.   With the ACL extension [RFC3744] present, WebDAV allows control over   who can access (read or write) any resource on the WebDAV server.  In   addition, WebDAV ACL provides for an "inheritance" mechanism, whereby   resources may inherit access privileges from other resources.  Often,   the "other" resource is a parent collection of the resource itself.

When provisioning   address books of a particular type, servers MUST ensure that the   correct privileges are applied on creation.  In particular, private   and shared address books MUST NOT be accessible by unauthenticated   users (to prevent data from being automatically searched or indexed   by web "crawlers").   Clients SHOULD warn users in an appropriate fashion when they copy or   move address data from a private address book to a shared address   book or public address book.  Clients SHOULD provide a clear   indication as to which address books are private, shared, or public.   Clients SHOULD provide an appropriate warning when changing access   privileges for a private or shared address book with data so as to   allow unauthenticated users access.   This specification currently relies on standard HTTP authentication   mechanisms for identifying users.  These comprise Basic and Digest   authentication [RFC2617] as well as TLS [RFC2818] using client-side   certificates.14.
