If a calendar can not be published to the remote server, there is no error and no indication that it failed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click a calendar, select "Publish Entire Calendar", and publish it to a remote WebDAV server. Make sure it worked.
2. Now disconnect your network cable, and change something in the calendar.
3. Re-publish it like in step 1.

Actual Results:  
Nothing special. It looks as if the calendar had been re-published.

Expected Results:  
An error message, since the server could not be reached and the calendar has NOT been published.

I duped it this way because this bug has a clearer description of the problem.

Confirming.

The bugspam monkeys have struck again. They are currently chewing on default assignees for Calendar. Be afraid for your sanity!

there is also no error displayed if the webserver is reached but returns an error. i published to my local webserver, which is running but is not configured for calendar publishing. the webserver returned 405 (method not allowed), but sunbird gave no indication of failure.
