caldav wordpress plugin without curl, using wp_remote_get() instead
I'm currently trying to write a wordpress plugin that connects to a caldav server and creates an .ics file from the calendar data.
as a first step, I used https://uname.pingveno.net/blog/index.php/post/2016/07/30/Sample-public-calendar-for-ownCloud-using-ICS-parser as a starting point, which works ok.
But the wordpress admins refuse to accept a plugin that uses plain curl, they recommend doing it all through the WP http API: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/http-api/ .
I managed to connect to the caldav server through that API, but can't get the desired xml response, only plain html, which does not contain the calendar data as such, but a table of .ics files, which would then have to be parsed individually, not very elegant...
The problem seems to be how to implement these 3 lines:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'REPORT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body);
via the wp API, especially:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'REPORT');
which does not seem to be possible via wp_remote_get() or wp_remote_post() .
maybe anyone here got a hint for me ?

just to answer my own question, the solution was to use wp_remote_request() instead of wp_remote_get() or wp_remote_post() because I needed the method 'REPORT':
$args = array(
'headers' => array(
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( $calendar_user . ':'
. $calendar_password ),
'Content-Type' => 'application/xml; charset=utf-8',
'Depth' => '1',
'Prefer' => 'return-minimal'),
'method' => 'REPORT',
'body' => $body,
);
$response = wp_remote_request( $calendar_url, $args );
which now works as expected.
maybe anyone else here can use this...
