DELETE /caldav/calendars/{calendarUuid}/{path}

Overview

Authenticated conditional event deletion implemented at src/caldav/router.js:43 (controller.deleteEvent). The adapter validates the UUID .ics resource, checks write capability and If-Match against the current ETag, and removes the corresponding FeraCal event.

Authentication and access

Security scheme: basicAuth

Control Contract
Authentication authenticated
Authorization HTTP Basic credentials are verified by FeraAuth and the resolved principal must have write capability for the selected calendar context.
Licensing The adapter has no separate local product-license middleware; it relies on FeraAuth credential verification and FeraCal calendar-access resolution for the effective instance.
Instance Context Principal and instance routes supply an instance UUID. Calendar routes first resolve the calendar UUID to its owner instance, then verify credentials in that effective context.
Ownership The verified FeraAuth user is resolved to a FeraCal person and calendar role; collection and event access is constrained to calendars for which that principal has the required capability.

Parameters

Name Location Type Required Description
calendarUuid path string (uuid) Yes FeraCal calendarUuid UUID used for CalDAV discovery and authorization.
path path string Yes Event resource filename. The basename must be a UUID and the extension must be .ics.
If-Match header string No Current event ETag used for optimistic conditional mutation. Omission performs an unconditional write or delete.

Request body

No request body.
