Details

If a CalDav URL points to a location which only listens on a port but does not respond, the application hangs in the "Please wait until your account is set up" screen without the possibility to abort. The only solution is to completely kill the app.

To reproduce this bug you can use the netcat tool and listen on a random TCP port (e.g. 5000):
netcat -vl 5000
Then you have to set up a new CalDav account with random credentials and the URL http://localhost:5000/ (assuming you've started netcat on your local machine).

I've tested some solutions to this problem and setting a timeout value on the XHR object in js/ext/caldav.js seems to solve the problem. The ontimeout event could be used to report the error to the user.
