918030 - unable to use iCalendar-data (ICS) with FirefoxOS’ calendar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Calendar, defect)

Description

[Jan D]

Attachment: ics-FFOS.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130911164256

Steps to reproduce:

I tired to set up a Calendar Sync (with a Kronolith server).
I created a new Calendar in the FirefoxOS calendar, choose CalDAV, pasted the URL to the .ics file provided by Kronolith. (same worked well with Thunderbird/Lightning) 


Actual results:

After entering my credentials I activated "save" and got a "Server error. Check your login and try again"


Expected results:

- It should have just worked, saved and synced
or if icalendar-files and CalDAV are not compatible it should have provided a "Calendar-Type: ICS" aside of CalDAV.

I see the same thing with calypso 1.4: http://keithp.com/calypso/ and an empty calendar.  That's with a recently, locally built nexus-s 1.5.0.0-prerelease.

Please let me know if I can help track down the problem.

I think there are two related but still separate issues here: CalDav compatibility and ICS files support.

As for Calypso, this seems to be a compatibility problem with CalDav, but looking at Rob's issue, I'd also suspect HTTPS certificate (maybe it is self-signed)?

I assume Jan's original report is about bare ICS file support, which is currently missing – I have to provide a full-fledged CalDav server, not just a single calendar file; this can be actually worked around with Calypso – http://keithp.com/blogs/calypso/ – but you have to run it somewhere.
I'd like to just import a bare ICS (Icalendar) file from the server (with a periodic refresh) or possibly from a local file. This would also allow Calendar application to handle webcal:// pseudo-scheme, which is basically just a location of a single ICS calendar.

yes, it is.

Please add ICAL support to Firefox OS.
It seems that there is no support for it. I cannot sync my Zimbra Calendar with it.

That is strange. Zimbra provides just fine CalDAV for me (on caldav://$SERVER/dav/$USEREMAIL/Calendar/ endpoint, but it is most likely configurable).

Is it pssible that I have this issue because our zimbra is the "free" version?
Anyway Ical is needed to feed my facebook calendar into my zte open c fxos calendar too.
