Mark Nottingham investigated iCal's use of the "webcal" URI scheme, and concluded it was likely due to an Apache mod_dav/put bug which doesn't store the media type on a PUT; http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2002Sep/0030.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2002Sep/0041.html That sounds like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me. > Are people doing this because of the difficulty of setting media types > on the server? In this case, since I assume they're not using DAV/PUT, perhaps some of the people involved in iCal contributed to the iTunes project, and just brought that legacy with them?
