        Hi,
interestingly, when adding new components the PUT HTTP method is used,
on a generated, hopefully unique and yet inexistent, file.

Right, you might be in a bad position, if the both sides would be
stubborn. As there are some quirks for other servers, why not to add
one more.

I checked the top of
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2015-May/msg00104.html
and it mentions there the Allow headers response from the FastMail
server:

> < Allow: MKCALENDAR

Even it's not meant to be used this way, I added the POST as an
alternative for PUT for 3.17.91+ at [1]. It's true that the server
should reject PUT requests on collections which are readonly, the only
difference is that the evolution will not show a nice error message,
nor eventually reject the write request before talking to the server,
but will show an error message as returned by the server. That might
not be a big issue, I hope.

In any case, thanks for contacting them and sharing their response.
        Bye,
        Milan
