As designed webcal as URI not parsing correctly

[Kleazy]

Affected version

2.2.5

When using webcal as a URI it cuts out the ":"

I see no way to make a webcal type URL that allows the user to subscribe to a calendar feed with a single click as the URI does not parse/work.

We only support URLs using the http or https protocols with the [URL] tag. We support mailto links via the [EMAIL] tag.

We don't attempt to autolink or parse URLs using other protocols such as ftp or, indeed webcal or application "deep links".

If you need support for this you should create your own custom BB code or for deeper integration, such as auto linking, you'll need a custom add-on.
