Description Andrew Ruthven 2009-08-30 21:55:06 UTC 
When using a default freebusy URL for meeting information if a 401 authentication required is returned then Evolution just gives up.

I'd expect Evolution to prompt for a username/password and re-fetch the Freebusy information using those credentials.

Currently the only way to get it to work is to hardcode a username/password in the Freebusy URL which is somewhat ugly, and doesn't work very well in an enterprise situation.

Confirming, still there with actual git master (2.91.3)

for evolution;

This uses libsoup if the returned error is from there about authorization required, otherwise fails like before. The username in the free/busy url is still required, because evolution's password dialog cannot ask for it.
