Why Custom Nodes?

The standard n8n HTTP Request node only supports these methods:
- DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, PUT

CalDAV and CardDAV require:
- REPORT - For querying calendar events with time-range filters
- PROPFIND - For listing contacts with full vCard data

Custom nodes have access to this.helpers.httpRequest()` which supports any HTTP method.
