You must use this command with an HTTP POST. This is unlike other commands, which can be used with an HTTP GET.
The following HTTP POST message exports all components of the calendars jdoe and john to an iCalendar file named export.ica:
POST /export.wcap?id=t95qm0n0es3bo35r &calid=jdoe;john &dtstart=0 &dtend=0 &content-out=text/calendar Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=-------------41091400621290 Content-Length: 47 --------------------- 41091400621290-- WinNT; U) Host: jdoe:12345 Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg,image/pjpeg,image/png */* Accept-Encoding: gzip Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
The following HTML generates a POST message using the export command, producing files in both iCalendar and XML formats:
<form METHOD=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" NAME="john.ics" ACTION="http://calendarserver:12345/export.wcap ?id=t9u9m0eh8x5pu9b&calid=jdoe;john&dtstart=0&dtend=0 &content-out=text/calendar"\> <ul\> <li\>Press Export ICAL Now:<input type="submit" value="Export ICAL now"\> </li\> </ul\> </form\> <form METHOD=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" NAME="john.xml" ACTION="http://calendarserver:12345/export.wcap ?id=t9u9m0eh8x5pu9b&calid=jdoe;john&dtstart=0 &dtend=0&content-out=text/xml"\> <ul\> <li\>Press Export XML Now:<input type="submit" value="Export XML now”\> </ul\> </form\>
This is the output generated:
