Yes, thanks.

Actually I don't define the view explicitly in the template as my  
class calls it directly.

Well, I've now got two classes (EventvCalView has to set different  
headers so I can't see an easy way round this in ZCML) and two  
different templates. Everything is working fine apart from the  
content-type is remaining steadfastly text/html! Content-Disposition  
is being set correctly. How do I fix this? ;-)

Tomorrow I'll try and write the tests for this so that I can submit  
the patch. And I'll also have something to talk about at the  
Rheinland ZUG meeting on Friday! ;-)
