Description

The frontend currently hits the ics endpoint via a regular anchor link. Need to change it to a button so we can make a request with custom headers (which is probably more appropriate, anyway):

  • Api-Version: 3 (current major version)
  • Accept: text/calendar

Research direction

Start by locating the frontend's regular anchor link to the ics endpoint and trace how that request is triggered. Change the request path so it sends Api-Version: 3 and Accept: text/calendar; done means the ICS request uses both headers and still retrieves the calendar response.
