iCal files need extension of .ics to work properly

Open theconsultant opened this issue 11 years ago • 11 comments

The generated ical event files need to have the suffix of .ics added for them to be recognized by iCal. Other than that they work perfectly!

Hi Dave, just looked into this... the iCal downloaded have an extension of .ics. The downloaded file works with my MacBook Calendar App. Here is the live example: http://carlsednaoui.github.io/ouical/example.html

Let me know if it's not working for you and I can look at it again. Closing for now, happy to re-open if needed.

Cheers!

OK, this is weird.. it works fine in Chrome and Firefox, but Safari just gives me files called "unknown", unlike in Chrome/Firefox where I get "download.ics" files.

Ok, thanks so much! Reopened the issue, will look into the specificity of Safari.

I'm curious, have you found any workaround for this yet?
