1738944 - Can't add CalDAV calendar missing trailing slash in Thunderbird v91 - calendar.zoho.com

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Calendar :: Provider: CalDAV, defect)

Description

[rapettif]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:93.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0

Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to add a CalDAV calendar from Zoho, so:

• Added a new Calendar.
• Selected "On the network".
• Entered mail address as user, and the URL of the CalDAV calendar, in the form https://calendar.zoho.com/caldav/[***CALENDAR_ID***]/events
• Was asked to enter a password, which i did.

Actual results:

Thunderbird said that it coudn't find any calendars on that location.

Expected results:

I tried the same on TB v78.14, and it worked perfectly.
I searched on support.mozilla.org, and it seems that this isn't just a problem with Zoho, but with other providers. For example:

Sorry, i cannot, but i opened a support case with zoho to ask them if they can assist, and gave them the link to this bug report. I think that it's in their best interest to step in.

EDIT: today they asked me to try adding an ending slash to the URL, so now it's like this:

https://calendar.zoho.com/caldav/[***CALENDAR_ID***]/events/

With the slash at the end, it did work.

Strange that on another PC with v78.14, it doesn't require the ending slash. Never had to add one. In fact, zoho instructions don't include any ending slash: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/calendar/syncing-other-calendars/articles/setting-up-caldav-sync-in-zoho-calendar#Steps_to_configure_CalDAV_sync_for_Thunderbird_Lightning

If there are any additional details, i'll comment here.

Is this a bug? Or a requirement?
