Description Clifford W. Hansen 2008-12-02 18:32:14 UTC

Version:           4.1.0 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

I'm using Debian Lenny with the KDE4 backports

When I add a remote calendar using webcal://www.rememberthemilk.com/icalendar/<username>/events/

I then get the error: The process for the webcal://www.rememberthemilk.com protocol died unexpectedly

I upgraded from KDE 3.5.9 and this was working there.

I did not import my settings but set this up from scratch.

Comment 1 Clifford W. Hansen 2008-12-02 20:11:25 UTC

I have successfully added this remote calendar by changing webcal:// to http://

Comment 2 doc.evans 2008-12-18 22:45:23 UTC

I can confirm this bug. I added webcal://icalx.com/public/wesleyrhall/Astronomy.ics to the calendars in kontact, and received the error: "The process for the webcal://icalx.com protocol died unexpectedly".

Using 64-bit KDE 4.1.3.

The workaround, as suggested, is to use http as the download protocol.

Works for me on KDE 4.3.5

Comment 4 Allen Winter 2012-07-06 20:55:48 UTC

resolving then.
especially since this BR is for an UNMAINTAINED, per-Akonadi version.
