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.

Bob, try using the UI at http://h2vx.com/ics/ to create the download link - it 
will escape the # in the URL correctly.

Subject: [uf-discuss] H2VX combines multiple fragment identifiers

Hi: I have two meetings on a web page, identified with

  <div id="meeting1" class="vevent">
    ...
  </div>

  <div id="meeting2" class="vevent">
    ...
  </div>


I want to use h2vx to create the .ics for only the first meeting:

<a href="http://h2vx.com/ics/get-cal.php?uri=http://example.com/#meeting1";>
    Download hCalendar.ics file
  </a>

But the hCalendar.ics file contains both meetings.

Does H2VX support fragment identifiers? If not, I'd like to submit a feature enhancement request... I seem to recall successfully doing this with Brian Suda's X2V, but not with Technorati's service.

Real-world example is at http://sobac.com/pvgp/

Thanx,
--Bob.
