Describe the bug

Description:
The instructions to create new calendars in the CalDav FAQ do not work. I am unable to create new calendars using the provided instructions, however I am able to create new calendars in certain CalDav clients using their "create" method.

Context:
It may be relevant that the domain I am using has a catch-all alias enabled, but tbc I am using one and only one alias for all calendars.

Actual behavior

The instructions suggest that to create new calendars, I should subscribe to a new calendar at the following URL, https://caldav.forwardemail.net/dav/principals/calendar-name, where calendar-name is the name of the new Calendar to be created. This operation fails, and no calendar is created.

However, when I authenticate and discover my available calendars at https://caldav.forwardemail.net, I notice each calendar URL is of the format:

https://caldav.forwardemail.net/dav/[email protected]/44314b5f-9daa-4898-84bc-ad2da4b15757/

Additionally, when I create a new calendar using the "create" operation in another client (DAVx5), I am able to create a new calendar. Now, when I discover my available calendars at https://caldav.forwardemail.net, I see two calendars with unique UUIDs instead of my provided calendar name:

https://caldav.forwardemail.net/dav/[email protected]/44314b5f-9daa-4898-84bc-ad2da4b15757/
https://caldav.forwardemail.net/dav/[email protected]/87792b5f-0aad-7788-b48c-75751aadd2b4/

Expected behavior

I expect a new calendar to be created. I suspect the documentation is just out of date.
