Public bug reported:

When attempting to connect to https://caldav.icloud.com/ to access my
CALDAV calendar using the lightning extension, the affected calendars in
the calendar list are greyed out.  When they are enabled (right click on
calendar -> Properties -> tick "Switch this calendar on") an error
appears in the error console and the calendar does not load.  It then
returns to being greyed out.

The error message is:
caldav.icloud.com : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

Upon investigation and reading the Mozilla Wiki entry on Security:Renegotiation 
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security:Renegotiation)  the following config items 
should allow this behaviour to be overridden:
security.ssl.renego_unrestricted_hosts
security.ssl.allow_unrestricted_renego_everywhere__temporarily_available_pref

I therefore set security.ssl.renego_unrestricted_hosts to contain the
string caldav.icloud.com and set
security.ssl.allow_unrestricted_renego_everywhere__temporarily_available_pref
to true.  However, they have no effect.
