Access Fastmail CalDAV with Python

Question

I'm trying to access my Fastmail calendar through Python. I'm using the caldav module as suggested by this answer. This is what my code looks like:

def main():
    auth = HTTPBasicAuth(username='mail@domain.com', password='myapplicationpassword')
    client = caldav.DAVClient('https://caldav.fastmail.com', auth=auth)
    try:
        client.principal()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

And client.principal() raises an exception:

404 Not Found

b'<html>\r\n<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>\r\n<body bgcolor="white">\r\n<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>\r\n<hr><center>nginx</center>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n'

I also tried with client = caldav.DAVClient('https://caldav.fastmail.com', username='mail@domain.com', password='myapplicationpassword') and achieved the same result.

Finally, I took a look at the caldav example using iCloud, and tried to reproduce the same idea with fastmail. I ran into the very same issue (principal_response has a 404 status code).

What am I missing?

The correct URL is https://caldav.fastmail.com/dav. This is not obvious from the servers and ports documentation.
