[Bug 74070] Re: Google Calendar ics support

[Sid]

I am having the exact same issue on ubuntu edgy (fully updated)...
evolution 2.8.1.

Here's how you should be able to recreate the error:
(1) Start evolution,
(2) Switch to the calendar window.
(3) Create a "New Calendar", with these options... Type:"On the Web", check "Copy calendar contents locally", URL: "webcal://www.google.com/calendar/ical/usa@holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics"
(This is US National Holidays public Calendar).
(4) On clicking "Ok", the calendar will work fine... even on terminating and restarting evolution, the calendar works fine. 
(5) Now reboot your system and then restart evolution... switching to the calendar window should give you an error like this: "Error on webcal://www.google.com/... cannot resolve hostname."

I get six such error messages, one for each web calendar I am
"subscribed" to.

I guess the one thing that's common between the 6 calendars is that they
are all google calendars... so it would be good to check if this happens
with non-google web calendars as well.

Here's another observation... I initially subscribed to 4 web
calendars... and all 4 worked fine until I rebooted the system. Then I
came to my home network (from work), and I got 4 error messages -- one
for each calendar. Then I subscribed to 2 more calendars... and those
worked fine. I kept getting only 4 error messages as long as I restarted
evolution (without rebooting or logging off). But as soon as I rebooted
the system, and started evolution (and switched to the calendar window),
I got six error messages this time (still my home network).

Any insights will be appreciated.

Thanks!
