@rparkins True, this solution adds a lot of complexity (and thus open a Pandora’s box full with new bugs) for a very rare problem. But i will consider it. Thanks for your thoughts.
Implement CalDAV/Card Service Discovery via SRV records (RFC 6764)
-
This will allow services that provide SRV records for CalDAV and CardDAV to be detected automatically by domain name.
For instance, if a user enters “icloud.com” as the host name, the corresponding services can be detected:
$ host -t SRV _caldavs._tcp.icloud.com _caldavs._tcp.icloud.com has SRV record 0 0 443 caldav.icloud.com. $ host -t SRV _carddavs._tcp.icloud.com _carddavs._tcp.icloud.com has SRV record 0 0 443 contacts.icloud.com.The advantage is that when CalDAV and CardDAV services are on different servers (like on iCloud), they can be used in one account when SRV services discovery is used.

A quick investigation which services provide CalDAV/CardDAV SRV records (alphabetically):
