Evolution 2.4 and web calendars

[Mathieu Lutfy <mathieu@bidon.ca>]

Hi,

I've been trying to use web calendards (webcal or iCal format)
with the Evolution groupware suite (2.4.2.1-1), but without any 
success. (I have not tried with previous versions)

Basically, the user's manual says: "To create a new calendar,
click File > New > Calendar. [...] If it is a remote calendar,
enter the name, color, URL, and a refresh frequency."

But in the New > Calendar dialog, there is only a field for
the name. I tried to select "type = Internet", then to enter
a webcal:// URL, but then the "OK" button would become gray. 
I tried with http:// and it accepted it, but then it would 
display a message: "webcal://.: could not resolve".

I am probably doing a very obvious mistake, but after alot of
playing around, I still couldn't find a solution. Any hints?

I am using the latest Debian unstable:

$ dpkg --list | grep evolution
