Ouch.  That's a silly bug in our URL parsing code; that code searches 
through URL queries assuming all parameters are foo=bar pairs.  I've 
checked in a fix, but for now you can work around this by doing two things:

- add an equals after ?ical
- change the protocol to https

That URL actually redirects to the https version, and the redirection is 
losing the ?ical portion of the URL.

Grant, I'm not sure if it's zanshin or twisted.web that handles the 
Location: header, but the server is preserving the the query in its 
response but zanshin/twisted.web remove the query when relocating.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
