Steps to reproduce:

I tried to sync with my CalDav server (which is Baikal) and it failed because it was using Digest access authentication.
When I switch from "Digest" to "Basic", then it worked.

Baikal strongly advices to use Digest instead of Basic for security reasons, I don't know if this is a regression (was Digest ever supported by Calendar app?) or a request for a new feature, but I think it could be interesting to look into it to provide a more secure synchronization for CalDav in the Calendar application :)
For your information, I tested this on the Flame device using a nightly 2.2 release Build Identifier 20141028040202 Git SHA-1 6a7fb482

I just ran into the same issue. I'm using Darwin Calendar Server, which has HTTP Basic authentication disabled in its default configuration. As a workaround I've enabled Basic auth on my server, but this won't be possible for everyone.
Firefox OS is not being worked on
