Please add a function to subscribe a online ICS calender stream
Problem
I would like to use a ICS calender streams from a online appointment booking system.
Proposal
Extend the add calender function so that a subscription of a online ICS calender stream is possible.
Prior Art (Optional)
On Android I use this app to add ICS calender streams: https://github.com/bitfireAT/icsx5 In GMail it is possible to add such a online calender stream with add additional calenders.
Does the CalDAV option not work for you? To the best of my knowledge that adds online calendars in this format.

No that does not work. ICS calender streams normally don't need any login data, when I use the CalDAV option I have to enter login data, but nevertheless it don't show any bookings. I assume that CalDAV and ICS are two different standards?
In my android app for ICS calenders I only have to add an URL to the ICS calender e.g. https://www.appointman.net/api2/calendar/stream/pitbqb2cgcmkiwaqi4kaq3/ev4tkswe-v5xc-5vr3-h7uh-sfp7wvfte9id.ics Then I can see all my bookings at my gym. (URL don't work --> anonymized)
For anyone wanting to implement this, this is the webcal backend in EDS (available in Evolution as "On the Web") option
