User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Build ID: 20141125180439 Steps to reproduce: When iCalendar server (read-only) returns HTTP 503 response, the calendar stops updating. Actual results: Calendar items are not shown even after the iCalendar server become optimal. Expected results: Continue to update the calendar. Our HTTP server returns 503 for scheduled maintenance window, so the current behavior is not inconvenient (we need to restart Thunderbird.)
What type of connection do you use: caldav or webdav (ics) calendar? Can you please enable debug logging by enabling calendar.debug.log and calendar.debug.log.verbose in the config editor and subsequently post the messages from the log console (ctrl+shift+j) appearing while reproducing the issue?
Kenichi, we need the information requested in comment 1

I'm using a iCalendar (ICS) read-only (HTTP) server. When 503 response is returned, the following was observed in the error console: [calICSCalendar] Response status 503, temporarily disabling calendar for safety. > (we need to restart Thunderbird.) This was wrong. I could re-enable the calendar in the Properties (Edit Calendar) window.
We should re-check from time to time in case of a 503. To get the calendar displayed while server outage, please make sure you have enabled offline support for the respective calendar in the calendar properties (calendar list in any calendar or task view).
