Creation of a new WCAP calendar is possible but it will be unusable.
No authentication is asking and reload-remote-calendars has no effect
After restarting shredder, the new WCAP calendar will have disappeared from the calendar pane.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new WCAP calendar 
2. The new calendar appears in the calendar pane. It is unchecked and has a yellow attention sign on the right side. 
3. Place the mouse cursor on the calendar name and a information message appears which says "The calendar XX is momentarily not available". But in few cases the calendar doesn't appears at all.
3. Check the calendar does not do anything. No authentication is asked.
4. A view on calendar properties permits to view that calendar is in read only mode.
5. Restart Shredder. The new WCAP calendar has disappeared.
Actual Results:  
Once the WCAP calendar is created, Lightning never asks for authentication. 
The calendar is unchecked and in a read-only mode. 
The calendar disappears when Shredder is restarted.

Expected Results:  
Authentication is asked and datas are correctly retrieved from the server.
The new calendar remains in the calendar pane after a Shredder restart.

should block in case it's confirmed

I've tested the WCAP provider with the last nightly builds (2009-04-15) of TB30B3 and LG10pre. The result is the same than in my first description.

Please note type and version of the server. Please check Tools > Error Console during retest and copy and paste related error messages to this bug report.

Attachment: Lightning 1.0pre WCAP log file 2009-04-17

This log file traces a connexion attempt on sd-calendar.staroffice.de with user JDOE.

Comment 7

[Laurent Bauvens]

The log file I have join in attachment comes from a connexion attempt with "http://sd-calendar.staroffice.de/?calid=JDOE". One can see inside this logfile some "uri: unknown, not logged in, calId=JDOE".
"uri: unknown" seems to be very abnormal. I think uri should be "http://sd-calendar.staroffice...."
"not logged in" is normal because Lightning doesn't ask for authentication. A possible consequence of "uri: unknown" ?

FYI, our Sun Calendar Server is a 6.2+ and the problem met is exactly the same.

[Daniel Boelzle [:dbo]]

WFM; no problem using "http://sd-calendar.staroffice.de/". Please try without a specific calid, you're asked for it anyway.

Comment 9

[Laurent Bauvens]

OK, it works well without a specific CALID. 

That means the bug should be renamed for example in "A parameter isn't supported in WCAP calendar URI in LG10pre".

Comment 10

[Daniel Boelzle [:dbo]]

That's true, the calid parameter is not supported any longer. It's derived out of the user id used on first login (i.e. the time when the user's subscriptions are installed). The user id can be prefilled, e.g. http://jdoe@sd-calendar.
Sorry, I won't denote to support it again and removed it form the wiki page.

Perhaps it makes sense to forbid validation of the URI dialog if this latter contains a '?' ?
This may avoid the strange result which made me file this bug.
