Better Feedback for failed WebCal

[Roman]

Binary package hint: evolution

Dear developers

I'm trying to import my own webcal internet calendar in my Evolution calendar. If I do so, there aren't any new entries in the calendar and unfortunately no error message appears.
The logs of the select Apache server says "error 200 - ok", the size of the file is correct, too. So, the document is delivered correctly.
By the way, importing through a local calendar works fine with the same file.

It would be much better if Evolution would show more information why the import fails. Debugging my iCal-file would be much easier. At the moment, I have absolutely no clue what the problem could be.

I import a webcal like this (I think this is the usual way):
1. Change to calendar, 2. Right click 3. Select "New Calendar" 4. Select "In the Web", enter a name and a webcal:// adress 5. Press OK.

Thank you
Roman

Sorry, I forgot: I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 with Evolution 2.8.1.
See attachment for example file that works by importing on local calendar and doesn't work through webcal.

The problem still persists with Hardy Alpha 6+. (Evolution 2.21.92)

Addding the calender with New Calender - On the Web includes it, but does show no events if enabled.
Downloading the calender and importing it into an existing calender works, on the other hand.
