The question still remains: Why require HTTP authentication? I guess I don't entirely understand Chandler's security model. My understanding (without looking deeply myself) was that access control was basically determined by "secure" URLs -- URLs that are obfuscated and hard/impossible to guess. This is how Google Calendar's private URLs work, and it's how I thought Chandler worked. Now I'm seeing that's not the case, and I'm wondering why. Specifically, if I want to have a public calendar on Chandler (thanks, btw, to Graham for your response), I'd like to have an .ics file so that anyone can subscribe to that information without having my username and password. How can I do this? =Eugene -- ====================================================================== Eugene Eric Kim ................................ http://xri.net/=eekim Blue Oxen Associates ........................ http://www.blueoxen.com/ ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list unsubscribe here: http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-users Chandler wiki: http://chandlerproject.org/wikihome
