[uf-discuss] H2VX combines multiple fragment identifiers

[Bob Jonkman]

Thanx, Tantek! Escaping only the '#' wasn't sufficient, but escaping all 
non-alpha did the trick for the download URL:

 http://h2vx.com/ics/get-cal.php?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F%23meeting1


The problem still exists with the subscribe URL, tho.  It's the same 
escaped URL, appended with   &subscribe=Subscribe  :

 http://h2vx.com/ics/get-cal.php?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F%23meeting1&subscribe=Subscribe

(which looks like &subscribe=Subscribe in HTML)

When I refresh the  link in Thunderbird Lighting it still shows both 
meetings. 

Evolution strips off fragment identifiers and the &subscribe=Subscribe 
parameter, and changes http:// to webcal://   Nothing appears in the 
calendar (but there's no error either).

Google Calendar returns the error "Could not fetch the url because 
robots.txt prevents us from crawling the url."


FWIW, as a Web page author I find the H2XV site a bit awkward to use -- 
it's difficult to find the URLs to use in my Web page. As an end-user it 
fine to have the H2VX bookmarklets in my toolbar, but as a page author I 
can't be sure everyone has the bookmarklets or Operator installed.
