I am abit confusled about webcal://

I have a dynamic page on phpsite
http://mysite.com/search?f=g&v=123&format=ical

If you do this url you can download a valid ics file.

I did an AddType in my apache config for text/calendar and flag ics
however if you turn http: into webcal: it wants to open Evolution on my localhost (Ubuntu linux) asks you to name a calendar so I do and I select it but I don't see any data and I know there are data in the ics file. I'm told Linux calendaring apps really suck... the other one I had before sucked too.

I dont see any way in this Evolution to manually import an ical file
so how do I test it?

What if you import it into something like gmail's calendar? Does it properly show events then? This will tell you if it's Evolution or the resulting file.

Is it possible to save the file instead of having it open in Evolution so you can open it in a text editor to see the contents?

yeh, I thought of that after I posted
Google calendar slurps it up quite nicely. And I think it's Google's fault I can't find a way to merge it with an EXISTING google calendar, it makes you create a new one. But from the apache end, everything appears hunkie dorie.

Yes, you can also save it as text, and I was and it was appearing to be an ICAL feed but I don't believe these things until something actually imports them.
I know from bitter experience that some little glitch can invalidate it in this messy format and the text file looks fine to the bare naked eye. And then I also found an ICAL validator somewhere online.

webcal seems sort of "sort of" at best...

If the resulting file is created correctly, then it's unlikely to be an Apache issue. Would you like me to move this to the Linux forum?

please move it
to whatever forum you think best. I thought it was an apache issue at first but It appears not to be. It actually appears to be fine. The webcal protocol is cranky but that's because support for it spotty

Moved from Apache to Linux ... hopefully those with more Linux GUI experience can assist or offer suggestions.
