I am able to access a public calendar published via .Mac on my WinXP notebook 
at work using the Firefox Calendar extension. The Sunbird standalone gives no 
option (to my knowledge) to use a proxy server to access the internet. 
The "sync arrows" continue to spin indefinitely without giving any kind of 
error or retrieving the calendar.

This same problem appears to be referenced in Comment #5 in Bug #252736.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File > Subscribe to Remote Calendar...
2.Enter "http://ical.mac.com/taylor.mc/MC's%20Vacation.ics" for the URL (and a 
name)
3.OK

Actual Results:  
Nothing. 
Continuous, endless, fruitless, sync-arror-spinning.

Expected Results:  
Allowed a proxy address:port to be entered in the Prefs. Then prompt for a 
username/password when adding a new calendar.

Marking as a duplicate of bug 288313.  You may re-open if you disagree.  (That
bug is fixed in nightly builds.  You might also want to check out the solution
for 0.2, presented in the calendar help project.)
