Description Marek Zalfresso-Jundzillo 2009-04-15 07:08:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I did following:

- run clean instance of KOrganizer
- defined new calendar to be used:
 - calendar type is 'calendar in remote file'
 - file url is like "http://some.server.pl/some/path/to/my/login/login.ics

Then I have checked option to load file at startup and mark it as 'read-only' calendar. When I try to reload calendar - I got information popup: "The file or folder some.server.pl does not exist."

I played with different user/password settings, also tried to use https and webdav/webdavs protocols instead of pure http. Always the same.

When I do "wget -http-user mylogin -http-password mypasswd   http://some.server.pl/some/path/to/my/login/login.ics", I got the file. 

Only special thing I've noticed is, that wget fails at the first try with http error 401 and then loads file correctly at second try. Probably it tries first time to load file without credentials and then second time with credentials, and that one is successful. 

Of course, I put the same login/password to my KOrganizer setup, and it is keeping showing this popup window only.

I have this problem on two different machines using the same calendar. I don't know whether this is a server problem, but I can use eg. thunderbird extension called 'lightning' to access this calendar and it also works correctly, so I suppose there is something in KOrganizer.

I have looked at the wireshark report - it looks that KOrganizer is not sending user/password credentials for some reason. I have tried to open the file via konqueror and it worked for http and https.

I'm not sure whether the problem is related to KOrganizer only or to KUrl.

I can confirm this bug.
Upgrading to 4.2.2 (ubuntu packages) does broke all my ical remote calendars using https + 401 basic authentication.
The error only tells "${server} does not exist".
Using wget, browser or some "other" methods and not kontact/korganizer/akonadi to manage the calendar does work.

I also confirm this bug, I hope for a fast solution of this problem. We have egroupware 1.6.001 ical sync works with every other aplication, xmlrpc also works with other apps but not with korganizer.

I can confirm this bug, and it really needs to be squashed. It makes the crash handler pop up like crazy.
Comment 4 Rainer Merz 2009-08-18 22:40:11 UTC
I updated to KDE 4.3 in the hope, KDE 4.3 has fixed the bug, but it is still the same.
Comment 5 Michael Schneider 2009-08-21 09:54:12 UTC
Same Problem here: Kubuntu, KDE 4.2.2. I cannot sync anymore with memotoo.com :(.
Comment 6 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:48:46 UTC
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of korganizer (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:47:16 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
