Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

I have added a new calendar from Google cal, with url:
http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/l7ideb96plgkkja81oque38m84%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

The import works fine, but when I open evolution I get this error message (3 times):

Error on webcal://<email address hidden>/public/basic.ics:
 Cannot resolve hostname

When I go to the properties of the calendar I see it has changed the url to:
webcal://<email address hidden>/public/basic.ics

Notice the change from http to webcal.

I would like to confirm this bug on Gutsy i386.

The bug remains even if I uninstall the evolution-webcal package.

Hi,

I'm not using Google, but my own http server for ical files. Unfornately the server I'm using does not support the caldav or wecal URI's. https and http are the only URI's that I can use. Connecting with these (in other email programs, and on a browser) works as it should.

Thanks,
James
