Hmm... The RFC for caldav (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4791.txt) doesn't specify any "caldav://"-scheme, and simply refers to URLs of webdav servers, such as http://cal.example.com/home/bernard/calendars/. In this case, the webdav server is behind SSL, so if this is to make any sense, at the very least there should be a "caldavs://"-scheme, to signify that the default port is 443 and the connection should be done using SSL. I think it could reasonably be considered a bug that https:// is converted to caldav:// I haven't tried this myself, but it seems from my quick Google-search that it /may/ work to try the URL caldav://some.domain.com:443/caldav/st/home/[email protected]/calendars/MyCalendar (I guess the plugin somehow detects the SSL?)
