changes
Author(s) : D. Royer
Filename : draft-royer-cap-notify-01.txt
Pages : 11

This memo describes a method used to ask for and receive
notifications. These notifications will be the direct result of a
stored VALARM and the notifications or changes to components or the
store and are represented in iCalendar format. This is an extensions
to CAP.
This memo includes a new CAP command types of 'REQUEST-NOTIFY',
'NOTIFICATION', and 'CANCEL-NOTIFY', a new property of 'OBSERVER', a
new component 'NOTIFICATION', CAP capabilities of 'CAN-NOTIFY',
'NOTIFY-UPDATES', and 'ALLOW-NOTIFY-BOT'. A 'REQUEST-NOTIFY' command
is a request to add an observer to an component in the 'TARGET'
calendar. In addition the 'REQUEST-NOTIFY' command can alert the CUA
of changes to specific components or in the calendar or calendar
store. Everything is subject to VCAR restrictions.
These are asynchronous notifications must be advertised by the CS and
requested by the CUA. This memo discusses how to transport them
using CAP.
In addition if the CS and CUA support the 'NOTIFY-UPDATES'
capability, then the CS will send 'NOTIFICATION' components to the
CUA describing the UIDs or TARGETS that have changed since the
currently authenticated CU was last connected allowing for easier
synchronization.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
