1260717 - Confusing network calendar options (iCalendar vs. CalDAV)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Marc Gutt]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.2; SM-N9005 Build/KOT49H) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.105 Mobile Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I add a new network calendar.


Actual results:

I need to choose between "iCalendar (ics)" and "CalDAV ".


Expected results:

I do not know what iCalendar (ics) inside of Lightning means, but iCalendar is a standard that does not describe a protocol. It describes only the data format:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar

And CalDAV uses the iCalendar data format. This means the data is saved in .ics files:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CalDAV

By that it can't be possible that I'm able to choose CalDAV without using the iCalendar format and I can not choose iCalendar at all, as this does not explain how the client communicates with the server.
