Re: Calendar Plugin

Thanks for getting back to me, I saw your name in the credits for the
calendar plugin and frequently on this board so I figured I was in the right
place.

I was able to manually "export" a calendar, save the resulting file on a the
webserver and direct google apps retrieve the .ics via http get requests.
This all worked and successfully updated my google mail calendar. The
calendar data should be isolated on the server and placed under its own
apache directory which I can protect however I want (shared passwd for the
company and ip restrictions).

One solution I see is to share a calendar with a user that that would use
http auth and wget on localhost. It just strikes me that wget quite possibly
wouldn't handle the js required for login_auth. 

Alternatively a script would "export" calendar data via command line; I do
recall mention of such a thing existing. This is what I am most hopeing for;
login_auth would be entirely unnecessary in this case.

1,2,3) Did you correctly configure HTTP-based auth... yes, a new
authentication windows pops up that prevents and enables access based on the
usernames in the htpasswd db to the entire squirrelmail directory. The
username/password is identical in both login methods.

4) Autodect was changed to always with the test users account

5) I checked all php.ini files for save_mode, all are disabled.
