Evert Pot @evertpot.com · 24/09/2026The best/easiest is to just make sure you have a route that returns the ics data directly and sets the `Content-Type: text/calendar` header. 110
Evert Pot @evertpot.com · 24/09/2026The mimetype you want is text/calendar, so this would be something like const blob = new Blob([icsdata], { type: 'text/calendar' }), and you might also need to drop the 'download' property. 120
Evert Pot @evertpot.com · 24/09/2026Hey! I had a look at your link and it looks like it's not a regular <a href=""> and a HTTP url, but instead you're building the response in memory and turn it into an object uri. I don't know if this works as well, but you _can_ specify a mimetype when building the blob with (new Blob()). 110
Evert Pot @evertpot.com · 24/09/2026Well the endpoint that generates the ics just needs 2 headers to do this correctly. Will share after I put my kid in bed! 110
Evert Pot @evertpot.com · 24/09/2026How are you hosting this event? Inside some kind of framework? Just hosting an .ics file somewhere might already do the right thing automatically. If you have a url I can verify it for you 100
Evert Pot @evertpot.com · 24/09/2026The correct way to do this is setting the right mimetype. If you see a URI scheme for this type of thing they usually didn't know what they were doing. Support for this goes way back. Add a .ics extension just in case (in url or content-disposition header) 120

Maybe one should try doing a staged publishing and then do 15-20 clicks to approve them all? 382
