247489 - HTTP redirect for remote calendar fails as error

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 247490

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Malte Starostik]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8

Above URL is a HTTP 301 redirect to the German Holidays file provided on your
site. I wanted to use such a setup to make the URL appear "local" for several
reasons.
When specifying such a redirected URL for a remote calendar, Sunbird barfs at it
as an "error" 301 instead of following the redirection.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to the calendar at http://malte.homeip.net/holidays.ics
2. Refresh remote calendars
3.

Actual Results:  
No events from the subscribed resource are displayed, instead the HTTP 301
redirect is handled as an error condition.

Expected Results:  
The redirect should have been transparently followed.

bug 247490 is slightly newer, but has a patch and all, so marking as dup.
