[Zope] zope, webdav, ical, vcalendar, etc.

[Erik Myllymaki]

I am trying to dynamically create iCalendar or vCalendar files.

I can do this with a Zope Page Template, naming it myCalendar.ics. When
myCalendar.ics is accessed through a web browser, iCal pops up and asks
what I want to do with the calendar info, etc. and all is well.

But what I would like to do is use iCal or thunderbird( lightening ) to
subscribe to the calendar so that updates are handled automatically. For
iCal to do this, it wants to access the ics file via webdav.

So I attempt to connect to zope via its webdav port and request the sale
zpt, but of course it sends it as its source, not as the rendered
calendar. If i take out all the TAL and just have a static vCalendar or
iCalendar file then this works via webdav but my whole reason for doing
this is so that I can populate the calendar with events form a RDBMS
when the myCalendar.ics template is called.

Your ideas appreciated.
