Comment	> The iCalendar RFC (RFC 2445) indicates that DTEND "specifies the > non-inclusive end of the event." When Kronolith creates an all day > event, it sets the DTSTART and DTEND to the same date. It should set > the DTEND to the following date to obey the RFC. Mozilla Lightning > (and I presume Sunbird) behave the correct way. When Lightning > creates an all day event, the DTEND is the value of the next day. > > > > Lightning is forgiving, though, of DTEND having the same value as > DTSTART and figures out that an all day event is intended. However, > if Lightning is set to publish an event and the kronolith/ics.php is > modified (as I have done) to accept events created in Lightning, the > Kronolith display of all day events created from Lightning is > incorrect due to this bug. > > > > It seems that Outlook may have the same behavior Kronolith currently > has as to the value of DTEND for all day events, and so maybe this > was not broken in earlier versions of Kronolith but was broken as a > patch to fix Outlook handling. I cannot verify that, though I saw > old bug reports to that effect. In my opinion, Kronolith should obey > the RFC and perhaps handle Outlook in some other way (another URL, > user-agent sniffing if Outlook's user-agent is unique enough, etc.)
