Oh, sorry, I forgot abut this. I don't think there is another way of 
disabling it, but in fact, it should, for the most time, work even 
without this parameter. The problem is that CookieCrumbler will redirect 
you to the login page if you need to log in, and don't provide 
authentication. Some clients will try to login without authentication 
first, and this will then fail.

If your client sends username and password from the start, it should 
work anyway. Also, if you have read access for anonymous to the 
calendar, it should work, but of course, that measn anyone can read the 
calendar.

The last way to do this is to set up a special port for webdav requests, 
with the <webdav-source-server> section in zope.conf. When accessed via 
that port, cookie-crumbler should never come into use, and it should 
work without the parameter.
