refreshing remote calendar does not always download events/tasks from remote
calendar.

in my case i added a task to a calendar, published the calendar, all ok.
then i selected refresh remote calendars.
suddenly the added task dissapears.

so, as i have access to the remote files i checked the remote file, the task is
there, good, then it got there. now i check the local file in my profile.
this file is slightly smaller, and the task is not there.
the task will download if i try to select refresh remote calendasrs.

I see this behaviour on Mozilla 1.4 with the Sep 26 Calendar build on both Linux
and Windows 2000.

I subscribed to a remote WebDAV calendar on the Windows machine and added one
event. Adding a second event wipes the previously added event, apparently
because the a wrong version (which does not have the first event) of the
calendar is uploaded. Exiting Mozilla and restarting Calendar inbetween every
add operation works. Evidently the program can do *one* update correctly.

I was subscribed to the same remote calendar on Linux before adding events from
the Windows box. So on the Linux system, the calendar was missing several
events. Adding one event on the Linux box wiped all changes made on the Windows
box. Apparently Calendar on Linux did not download a fresh copy of the file
before uploading.

In short, the WebDAV calendar sharing is completely broken in the Sep 26 release.
