It's a whole calendar, because I want to move an existing local calendar
to OGo. All appointments (VEVENTs) are in one file, though.

Why would curl be more appropriate?

I first tried a group calendar called 'bsstaff' with 'schulze' being a
member of the group (URL #1):
https://hostname.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/zidestore/so/schulze/Groups/bsstaff/Calendar/

Because that was not working, I tried the private calendar of 'schulze'
(URL #2):
https://hostname.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/zidestore/so/schulze/Calendar/.

So, when importing to the bsstaff group (URL #1), the appointments
should be visible for schulze (because he is a member of bsstaff)? And
appointments imported to the private calendar of schulze (URL #2) should
be visible for schulze? Both is not working for me. No appointments are
visible.

I understand that. It's not a problem for me right now, because I want
to move an existing local calendar to an empty OGo calendar.

I'll keep that in mind for later. Do the VEVENT ics files have to comply
to a special naming convention or something?
