Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:03:42 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637 Can't sync tasks with Thunderbird/Lightning Thunderbird/Lightning tries sync with my server and I get this error (from the Error Console in Thunderbird): Warning: There has been an error reading data for calendar: rdias tasks. Error code: CAL_UTF8_DECODING_FAILED. Description: An error occured while decoding an iCalendar (ics) file as UTF-8. Check that the file, including symbols and accented letters, is encoded using the UTF-8 character encoding. Warning: There has been an error reading data for calendar: rdias tasks. Error code: READ_FAILED. Description: I'm using the following URL: https://myserver.local/horde/rpc.php/nag/rdias/rdias.ics Using the same server and client, my calendar syncs fine even using accented letters. Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:52:44 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637#t56260 If you export your tasks to an iCalendar file and import that manually to Lightning, does it work? Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:30:26 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637#t56261 I get a different error: Error: [Exception...

Looking at it with an editor I suspect it's encoded with ISO-8859-1 so that could be the problem. Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:27:23 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637#t56266 That file should indeed be UTF-8 encoded. I can't reproduce this, tasks are exported as UTF-8 just fine here. If you export the file, what's the encoding charset of the web interface? Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:48:55 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637#t56267 > That file should indeed be UTF-8 encoded. I can't reproduce this, > tasks are exported as UTF-8 just fine here. > If you export the file, what's the encoding charset of the web interface? How can I check for that? P.S.Be aware that under Kronolith the file is encoded as UTF-8. It just under Nag that this is happening. Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:21:02 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637#t56274 > How can I check for that? Depends on your browser. There should be some "page properties" or "page encoding" or similar menu entry somewhere.

There should be some "page properties" or > "page encoding" or similar menu entry somewhere. As this is a file and not a webpage I had to use Firefox with the extension "Live HTTP Headers". Anyways it's UTF-8. Full log of the session is attached. Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:59:18 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8637#t56287 No, I really meant the web interface, i.e. the regular tasks frontend that you use with your browser.

Then it is:Encoding: ISO-8859-1.
