I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on Ubuntu 9.10

I gathered the URLs from Firefox as it was trying to download the .ics 
file or the calendar subscription.  Only later did I use Firebug to 
examine the HTTP headers and discovered that there's a re-direct to a 
webcal:// URL.

I'm trying to provide a link directly on my web page that will interpret 
the hCalendar on that page to provide an .ics file, or a calendar 
subscription.  Applying DRY principles, I only update the prose and then 
H2VX takes care of updating the .ics.

The &subscribe=Subscribe is a parameter to h2vx.com/ics/get-cal.php , 
not to example.com/  so I've left it not URL-encoded.

I only just discovered with  Firebug that the  Subscribe button on  
http://h2vx.com/ics/  returns "302 Moved Temporarily" with a location of

  |webcal://h2vx.com/ics/http://example.com/#meeting1

It does not appear to be URL-encoded.

Sorry for the delay in replying -- the urgency for this issue (for me) 
has passed; at the meeting in question[1] our Township Council decided 
to preserve the forest and not proceed with development.  Yay!
