Radicale DAV Extensions
Radicale uses standard DAV protocol extensions as defined in RFC 4918, however, some custom extensions are used to enhance the functionality of the Radicale Web UI client. These custom protocols are not used by the Radicale server when processing CalDAV and CardDAV requests and do not need to be supported by any clients.
displayname
The displayname extension is used to retrieve the display name of a collection if it has been set. It returns a string containing the name or an empty value if none is set. This extension is similar to the standard DAV extension of the same name except it will return an empty value if there is no display name set, whereas the standard DAV extension will return the collection URL if there is no display name set.
getcontentcount
The getcontentcount extension is used to retrieve the number of individual items within a collection. It can only be used for collections. It returns an integer of the total number of items stores or a 0 if there was an error (or no items are found).
XML Namespace
The XML namespace of the Radicale custom DAV extensions is http://radicale.org/ns/ and the XML prefix is RADICALE. An example of using the Radicale namespace in a DAV request would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<propfind xmlns="DAV:" xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" xmlns:CR="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:carddav" xmlns:CS="http://calendarserver.org/ns/" xmlns:I="http://apple.com/ns/ical/"xmlns:INF="http://inf-it.com/ns/ab/" xmlns:RADICALE="http://radicale.org/ns/">
