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

[Erik Harg]

Hi again,

It did work somewhat better (or at least different) when attaching  
the "chandler=.ics" handle at the end of the URL. However, it still  
did not complete the subscription process, and I got an error "Failed  
to subscribe ..." "...see chandler.log" for more info.

The chandler.log is enclosed:

Does this make any more sense to you? It seems as if the contents of  
what CPS sends and what Chandler expects doesn't match up. Should I  
start complaining to the CPS guys now, or is it too early to blame  
them? ;-)

If you want, I could also give you a tcpdump of the entire exchange  
between the CPS server and Chandler.

Thank you!

Erik
