ICal Format - One time import or RSS like functionality?

One time import. See Wikipedia it basically represents a mechanism for sending one or more appointments.

I'd like to publish a list of events in the iCal format. If I have a public ICS file that I add/update events on, will clients like Google Reader and Outlook receive those updates automatically? I.e.

, does it behave like an RSS feed that gets periodically pinged for changes or is it a one time import? Ical link|improve this question edited Sep 19 '11 at 17:44Trott7,83341031 asked Jun 23 '09 at 16:29Nathan.

One time import. See Wikipedia, it basically represents a mechanism for sending one or more appointments. If the iCal is published and updated, and your client can be set to periodically refresh, you may get the effect of a subscription to an RSS, but really it is a series of imports.

It depends how the client is configured. For instance, in Korganizer I often do one-time imports (e.g. Departure times when I book a flight). But I have other ICS files (e.g. Organizational calendars) where I set it do pinging.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
