ODS Calendar Atom based upstream support

ODSCalendar now supports Atom based upstreaming. Any Calendar instance can be configured to escalate any changes to one or several remoted ODS Calendar instances.

Configuration

Upstreaming can be configured from Preferences->Upstreams

The form for adding or changing existing upstream contains following fields:

Field	Value
Name	name of the upstream - list of upstreams actually a list of such names
URI	URI of remote ODSCalendar Atom endpoint. Usually it is something like http://host:port/dataspace/{ods-user}/calendar/{calendar-instance}/atom-pub
User	name of user who has write permissions on the remote ODSCalendar instance
Password	password of user
Include with tags	Calendar object with this tags will be upstreamed.
Exclude with tags	Calendar object with this tags will not be upstreamed.

The upstreaming is performed on the interval set in the Virtuoso database ini file for paramater SchedulerInterval in the [Parameters] section.

1. There is registered an user test1 with pwd 1.
