I just installed the newest build calendar_windows_20040617.xpi and now i can't
subscribe to calendars on http://www.icalshare.com or http://www.icals.de any more.
This worked with the privious build (from April?).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.icalshare.com or http://www.icals.de
2. click on "subscribe" or "abonnieren"


Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
"add new calendar" dialog should appear
some more information:

When I try to subscribe to those calendar manually using "Subscribe to Remote
Calendar..." in the Tools menu, I get an alert window "Getting the calendar file
failed. Status code: 302: Found".

You can test it with http://ical.mac.com/macklausi/GermanSpecials.ics or
http://ical.mac.com/beweis/EM_2004.ics for example.

Mvl, shouldn't the strings in your patch be put into a properties file so that
they can be localized?

Thanks, this works for manually added remote calendars.

But clicking on calendars on those websites still doesn't open the "add new
calendar" dialog again.

Reopen?
For the calendars on http://www.icalshare.com that don't give a 404, it works
just fine for me.
For testing I take the first calendar on the front page "2004 C.F.L Schedule All
Teams" and click on "Subscribe" (using 1.7 final), but absolutely nothing happens.
That one gives me a 404, page not found

what happens if you visit
http://icalx.com/rycardo/public/CFL2004Schedule-AllTeams.ics ?
When nothing happens, it either means some dialog is hidden, but waiting for
your input, or your network is acting strange.
OK, that was a bad example. I get a 404 for the download link, too.

The problem are the "Subscribe" links. They link to webcal://... adresses. With
older calendar versions I got the "add new calendar" dialog by clicking on them.
Now nothing happens.

When I click on "Download calendar" links I can download the .ics-File, but I
don't get the "add new calendar" dialog, too.
OK, I just tested it with an old caledar version.
I go to http://www.icalshare.com and down to "ELW Leerungstermine 2004".
There is a link "Subscribe" on the left pointing to
webcal://below.groof.com/ical/Leerungstermine32Wiesbaden.ics.

Old version (from April): "add new calendar" dialog appears
new version (from yesterday + your patch): nothing happens
That works for me.
Try to close all calendar windows and dialog before clicking the link. It didn't
work for me when i had the 'edit calendar' dialog open.
I made a clean install now. I unzipped Mozilla 1.7final. Made a fresh profile
and only installed the Calendar XPI.
I tried it with opened and closed Calendar. No other windows were open.
Nevertheless nothing happens, when I click on the "Subscribe" link. Can anybody
else test this?

My friend and I have been struggling with this for two days and I can confirm
that it is broken.  Fresh, brand new everything as you described above results
in, nothing.  I've tried various combinations of other screens open/closed but
nothing works.  404 not found is certainly not the issue here, we admin the
server that host's the ics files.
Maybe it is bug 249796?
This one is not about publishing, but about subscribing via a link on a webpage.

Michael, are you sure you wanted to reopen this bug?
The original problem was subscribing via a link in the web. This doesn't work
here, at a friend and Rob Larkin.
The privided patch fixes a part of the problem, but not subscribing via a weblink.
I could subscribe to a calendar at http://www.icalshare.com

If there are still problems, please give _exact_ steps to reproduce (including
urls etc). Also, check the version of the calendar xpi you are using.

Ok, again in detail:

Mozilla 1.7.1
Calendar: 2004062218-cal

Go to http://www.icalshare.com
Just take the first calendar provided "Asia Cup Cricket July 2004".
Click on "subscribe" on the left.
The link points to "webcal://ical.mac.com/rogerattlee/Asia32Cup32Cricket.ics"

Absolutely nothing happens here.
In older versions of the Calendar the "add new calendar" dialog appears.
Those steps work for me, except that i am using a cvs build of mozilla+calendar,
buildid 20040710. So either something fixed this after the calendar build was
made, or after 1.7 was branched, or it is platform specific, or something else
is doing weird things.
Let's try to rule out the first two options first, by waiting for a new calendar
xpi.
Perhaps this problem only occurs, when the Calendar is installed as xpi. Can I
download the build you are using anywhere?

Do you see errors in the javascript console?
I'm seeing on w2k:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004002
(NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsISupports.QueryInterface]"  nsresult: "0x80004002

Line: 116

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004002

Source File:

Line: 246

According to bonsai, no changes to calendarService.js since 20040622, and the
changes to libxpical don't appear relevant.
This seems to be the same bug. I get the same errors. We should mark one of
these bugs as dupe of the other.
Did these Javascript errors help you find the problem, Michiel?
No, but i can't work on it anyway, as i have no way to reproduce the bug. Hence
no way of finding a fix.
you can just unzip the zip-version of the 1.7 release and install the Calendar
XPI to repoduce this bug.
But then i still can't work on it, because it works in my own builds.
I think the problem is the integration of the Calendar during the install
process of the XPI.
Dep on Bug 252944?
Depends on: 252944
The patch proposed in Bug 252944 seems to help for this bug, too.
Fixed with bug 252944.
