Steps to reproduce:

I added a calendar (CalDAV with address "webcal://XXX") from network, and a exclamation mark appears. Webcal did work until Thunderbird 31.2.0. The newer releases show an exclamation mark.


Actual results:

exclamation mark appears, it is not possible to add an event or see events.


Expected results:

Possibility to add an event or see events.

The webcal:// scheme is just an unofficial alias name for the http:// scheme. Change your calendar address from "webcal://XXX" to "http://XXX" and Thunderbird/Lightning should be able to load the .ics file. I am not aware that CalDAV servers use the webcal:// scheme therefore ensure that you are choosing the correct calendar type during creation.

Thank you for your quick response! I added the network calendar with "http://" instead of "webcal://" as ICS, no exclamation mark appears, but no entries appear too. I added another network calendar with "http://" instead of "webcal://" as WCAP, an exclamation mark appears, the same situation like CalDAV.

Up to Thunderbird 31.2.0 Thunderbird was able to handle these calendars with this scheme "webcal://XXX" and adding it as CalDAV.

I pasted the calendar network address in firefox, i got a error message:

Firefox kann nicht für die Sicherheit Ihrer Daten auf XXX garantieren, da diese Website das unsichere SSLv3-Protokoll verwendet.

Adding a webcal:// URL as Network calendar in Thunderbird 91.5.0 (64-Bit) works fine without problems. This can be closed IMO.
