214276 - german umlauts broken using remote calendar through WEBDAV

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167800

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Karsten Fuhrmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030709
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

using german umlauts in the calendar does not work, they get displayed as very
strange symbols, even more symbols than the original text. This problem only
occurs when using a remote webdav calendar. Local calendars display umlauts proper.

this is a snipped of my httpd access log

192.168.0.132 - - [29/Jul/2003:11:21:33 +0200] "PUT /calendar/test.ics HTTP/1.1"
201 276 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624"
192.168.0.132 - - [29/Jul/2003:11:22:30 +0200] "GET /calendar/test.ics HTTP/1.1"
200 754 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624"

as you can see, the PUT Request transfers only 276 Bytes, but the later GET
Request already transfers 754 Bytes, these extra bytes are only junk chars in my
calendar.

Maybe this Problem is not a Calendar related but a WebDAV problem i am not so
sure about that.

2. Refresh the remote calendar
3. voila

Actual Results:

I have several remote calendars on two WebDAV servers, and events include German
umlauts. I do not seem to have any problems with those.
