1847729 - Unable to import calendar ICS URL

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Menzel]

Steps to reproduce:

Debian sid/unstable with thunderbird 1:115.1.0-1

Try to import a calendar via On Network, and a URL with no authentication data, so check box that no authentication data is needed. Click on Search calendar.

Actual results:

The spinner is spinning indefinitely. The HTTP server logs show, the file being requested and transferred. With obfuscated URL:

141.14.220.X - - [08/Aug/2023:13:19:18 +0200] "GET /cgi-bin/ics/subscription?user=username&cal=something&token1=bla&token2=blubb HTTP/2.0" 200 101933

Expected results:

An error should be shown, what is wrong, so the user can fix it. (Even something be logged to the terminal or visible in the error console.)

Ultimately, the calendar’s URL to the ICS file should work.

Manually downloading the ICS file, and importing it using Event & Task → Import, all events are recognized, and I am able to import them. So the ICS seems to adhere to the ICS standard.
