webdav doesn't define the response to GET for a collection, so the
response could be of any random media type. the best way to determine
if a collection is accessible by caldav is to look for the DAV
response header and check for the "calendar-access" token. i have yet
to hear of a real-life webdav server that doesn't respond to GET at
all for a collection, so you should be fine.
