When the N9 sends a DELETE message, it includes the Content-Type: "application/xml" header and no Content-Length. (I think this implies Content-Length:0.) Apparently, the CalDAV spec says that DELETE has no body, so there isn't any need to send the Content-Type header.

This confused DAViCal. According to the developer, the spec doesn't cover this particular case. The patch he or she gave me fixes the issue.
Thanks for sharing this, it would be great if you could post that here.
That's the official bug tracker since the real one was closed a few weeks after PR1.2.
It's the only place Harmattan devs are still screening....
Of course it's no guarantee it'll be fixed, but at least it's being placed in front of them.
Alternately if there's already the same or similar issue in the tracker, you could add to the existing notes in the ticket.
