CalDAV. What to do with MKCALENDAR request?

[Olegas]

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?

[Olegas]

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

[Olegas]

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

[aenario]

Apparently it all boils down to nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#3192 -> nodejs/http-parser#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)
