283169 - Remote calendar should auto-reload

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 215971

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

Description

[David Hendricks]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

Background: We are looking for a shared calendar at our office, and users want 
simplicity first and foremost. I installed Mozilla Sunbird on several 
workstations, and then set up Apache server with WinDAV to host the remote 
group.ics file for our group calendar.

A remote calendar would be more useful if there was some sort of polling cycle 
(every minute or so). Having to do ctrl-R to get a current view of events on 
the remote calendar is a drag.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. At Workstation A and Workstation B, subscribe to the same remote calendar,
checking "Automatically publish your changes..." on each.
2. Add a new event on Workstation A.
3. Workstation B doesn't see the addition unless he does ctrl-R or 
checks "Reload Remote Calendars on Startup" and restarts the calendar.

Actual Results:  
Workstation views of the calendar don't stay in sync unless users keep doing 
ctrl-R or restart the application with "Reload Remote Calendar on Startup" 
enabled.

Expected Results:  
All workstations subscribing to the same remote calendar should stay in sync 
without being required to manually ctrl-R or anything else.
