Hi Ben,
There are a number of examples of the calendar-query report in the
regression tests for DAViCal. Take a look in the source tree, starting
from here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/davical.git/tree/HEAD:/testing
It should be fairly clear that each of the *.test files (in the folders
under 'tests') contains the HTTP headers and body that are sent, and if
you take a look at the dav_test perl script you can see how it builds a
'curl' command-line to send the test to the server.
Regards,
Andrew.

These are described in RFC3744 which has to be one of the most impenetrable specifications of all time. I've read it a dozen times now and still don't claim to understand it fully...
