Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[DeMZed]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

here is the typical parameter I've tested for the parameter "location".
Thoses tests happend when I "edit" a calendar located on "C:\Documents and
Settings\<<user>>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abgvl4j1.default\Calendar\CalendarDataFile.ics"
I change the second field "location" (to specify remote calendar) with
C:\Documents and Settings\CalendarDataFile.ics
or 
\\host\a\share\of\my\network\CalendarDataFile.ics
Then I've clicked the checkbox "auto publish" and then on "OK"

No problem until here

Finally, I create a task, click "OK" to finish it, and then the problem occurs :
the tiny icon "uppdate" near my calendar in calendars list whith no end. 

I try then to look at the properties I've set. the checkbox is still checked,
but the parameter "location" is lost.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change parameters of calendar to specify a remote file
2. Create a task
3. Valiate the task

Actual Results:  
publish no end

Expected Results:  
remote calendar synchonized

Reporter,
Remote Server URLs are for WebDAV or FTP URLs only.

UNC paths (\\SERVER\SHARE) are not supported anywhere at this time.

Mapped drives however are, when used as a "Local Calendar"

I would admit that the documentation is lacking in this particular instance.

Marking INVALID.
