[Design] Chandler: Support for Nuxeo's CPSSharedCalendar?

[Morgen Sagen]

No, I hadn't heard of CPS before.  My initial guess, based on the 3rd  
URL Erik included is that Chandler doesn't know it's subscribing to  
a .ics file since the URL doesn't end in ".ics".   So Chandler is  
likely trying to trying to subscribe as if this is a WebDAV+CloudXML  
share.  One hack to get around this problem without changing the way  
Chandler detects .ics subscriptions would be to append something like  
"&chandler=.ics" to the URL you enter into Chandler's subscribe dialog:

http:// <baseURLtoCPS> /workspaces/ <user> /calendar/calendar.ics? 
disable_cookie_login__=1&chandler=.ics

Hopefully the CPS server will ignore the "chandler=.ics" argument,  
and Chandler will treat this as a .ics share.
