(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Using Sunbird:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112 Mozilla
Sunbird/0.2b

I have a working WebDAV server, verified outside of Sunbird. When I select
'Publish Entire Calendar' from the context menu I supply it with a valid URL to
my WebDAV folder and press the 'Publish' button. I am prompted to accept the
certificate from my server and for my user name and password. After this is
complete the 'Publish' button changes to 'Close' with no indication that
anything happen. And, sure enough, if I check my WebDAV server, the calender was
never published to it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select a previously unpublished calender from the 'Calenders' tab
2.Right-click and choose 'Publish Entire Calender'
3.Enter WebDAV URL
4.Press 'Publish'
5.Enter user name and password for WebDAV server
6.Press 'Close'
7.Verify that calender is not at specified URL.

Actual Results:  
Nothing. The calender was not published.

Expected Results:  
Published the calender to the specified WebDAV URL.

No errors reported by application or in Javascript Console.

Reporter,
I assume that because you are being prompted to accept a certificate, you are
publishing over https, possibly using a self-signed certificate, correct?

If so, could you attempt to replicate your bug on a https server with a
certificate signed by a valid certificate authority? This would help isolate if
it's the certificate confirmation that's causing the problem or not.

Thanks

Yes, I am using a self-signed certificate per the instructions on 
http://www.twilight-systems.com/flacco/mozcal/mozcal-webdav-apache2-rh9.html

I would be glad to test this feature on a https server with a certificate from a
Certificate Authority, but I don't personally have access to one. If you have
access to one and want to make a test account for me, I will be glad to point my
test calendar at it.

I don't know if this helps, but if I use Firefox 1.0 to point at a test file in
my WebDAV folder on my https server, I can see the test file with no problems. I
accept my self-signed certificate using (roughly) the same dialog as Sunbird.
I'm not sure how much of the SSL codebase is shared between these two products
however.

I'm seeing the same problem on Linux, also using a self-signed certificate, also
with no access to a WebDAV server using a CA signed certificate.

Can anyone test this with more current builds (ie Sunbird 0.3a1 or a nightly build), please?
