253567 - Calendar 2004062218-cal on Thunderbird 0.7.1 (20040626) cannot publish/subscribe to Remote Calendars via FTP (does not auth correctly to site)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 249796

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Jin Hian Lee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Thunderbird/0.7.1

The Calendar 2004062218-cal on Thunderbird 0.7.1 (20040626) cannot
publish/subscribe to Remote Calendars via FTP.

It is unable to login to the FTP site. When it tries to establish a connection,
Mozilla Firefox pops up instead and prompt for the password, then attempts to
download the .ics file. Calendar never regains control.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools->Subscribe to Remote Calendar
2. Location: "ftp://[e-mail]/calendar.ics"
3. OK


Actual Results:  
1. Mozilla Firefox pops up
2. Prompts me for the ftp password
3. Proceeds to download the ics file

Expected Results:  
1. Subscribed to the remote calendar (.ics file) on the ftp site.

1. Same build of Calendar operates correctly when installed under Firefox 0.9.2
rather than Thunderbird 0.7.1

Wrongly, IMO.  Bug 249796 was about a problem with chrome.rdf, but the
discussion there has drifted towards Thunderbird, which has no FTP support at
all.  That is an entirely different problem, and it deserves its own bug--for
example, this one.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
