The format of the URL I have for my CalDAV connection to Zimbra is

 caldav://host.somewhere.else/dav/username/calname

with SSL ticked and the correct username filled in.  I believe the
username in the URL can be replaced with username domain if you have
multiple domains on your Zimbra install.

The 'calname' is the name of the calendar - the default one on Zimbra is
'Calendar'.

the "Browse for a calendar" works with this setup.

Well, the URL works fine (copy/paste) in my browser as well as in Thunderbird with Lightning. Also, if I fiddle around with the URL, so that it becomes incorrect, e.g. by changing /caldav/ to /dav/ or /duvv/, the error message changes to: "Authentication failed. Server requires login". 

But should I really change the URL from that used with Lightning?

I also tested with, and without, trailing slash.

That sounds as if there is a typo...

Agreed. But the exact same URL works fine with other clients. If I paste it into chrome, the calendar events pop immediately.

If it doesn't work, then I suggest you run the e-calendar-factory with
the debug options set as it says in at least one of the threads.

P.

Just did this. Unfortunately it did not provide me with an awful lot of extra information:

(e-calendar-factory:23552): e-cal-backend-caldav-WARNING **: Server did not response with 207, but with code 2 (Cannot resolve hostname)

(e-calendar-factory:23552): e-cal-backend-caldav-WARNING **: Server did not response with 207, but with code 2 (Cannot resolve hostname)

When using gnome network settings and:

(e-calendar-factory:23552): e-cal-backend-caldav-WARNING **: Server did not response with 207, but with code 301 (Moved Permanently)

(e-calendar-factory:23552): e-cal-backend-caldav-WARNING **: Server did not response with 207, but with code 301 (Moved Permanently)

When using direct connection.
