[EventCalendar] Re: calendar output completely broken

[Dr. Peter Troxler]

Hi Claire

(back in debugging mode again)

I've in parallel implemented the changes on one of the sites I'm  
running (<http://www.scope34.org>, alas it's all in foreign  
(german)), and from this site URL linking into gCal worked

see yourself <webcal://www.scope34.org/?ec3_ical>

(however, in Sunbird I do get an error "invalid  
timezone" [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804a0001  
[calIIcalComponent.startTime]"  nsresult: "0x804a0001 (<unknown>)"   
location: "JS frame :: file:///Applications/Sunbird.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/js/calItemBase.js :: anonymous :: line 526"  data: no]
  .... my fix sends "Europe/Zurich" which I believe is a valid  
timezone and sunbirds mac timezone implementation maybe a little  
incomplete...)

this is actually what happenes if I edit your ical file down to only  
the first entry, which leads me to believe that the UTF-8 issue  
actually does have to do with some funny characters

maybe you try to import this below into sunbird just to check ...?
