+1 to adding to 0.6.1 if it's not going to destabilize the release.

On IRC earlier today, we had a user, Leppy, unable to subscribe to
his Basecamp calendars (see <http://basecamphq.com/>) from
Chandler; both Mozilla and Apple iCal both had no problems.
What's going on here is that Chandler is getting itself confused
about what kind of thing you're trying to subscribe to. It could be
any of:
1. A simple text/calendar resource (i.e. a ".ics file on the web").
2. A non-CalDAV Chandler WebDAV collection (i.e. cloud xml)
3. A CalDAV collection
It turns out that we don't really detect the first case very well;
in fact, if you're not subscribing to a URL that ends in ".ics",
Chandler won't allow you to subscribe, and will fail with a fairly
incomprehensible error.
While I'm working on making this code work better (i.e. correctly)
in 0.7, it seemed to me that we could make a simple change in the
sharing code for 0.6.1 that would enable more users to subscribe to
shared calendars:
Basically, if the URL being subscribed to is using the 'webcal'
scheme, we should assume case #1 above. This would fix the user's
problem, at least, and others where calendars get shared with a
webcal: scheme but no .ics extension.
FWIW, the webcal scheme is not an official standard; rather I think
it's something Apple made up, but has become fairly widespread
nowadays.
Any comments / suggestions?
