Would you be able to write a test case for this? For now, you can just add it to the test cases in test/ical/test.js. I think a test case would help not break this in the future and also give some more insight into the actual issue.

I am not sure this does exactly what you want it to do, it seems that this check will find any / in the TZID then take a substring, so, for example, wouldn't this:
America/Los_Angelesmatch for your .search(...) call? Which would then end up with merica/Los_Angeles?
I think you would just want to check if the string starts with /, which simplifies the call to if(params["TZID"].startsWith('/'))

Yes agree re the search. I'll make the change to the code and commit the change. I'll also write a test case for it and submit. Thanks for the advice.

Sounds good - I'm about to head on a trip for a bit over a week tomorrow so I may go quiet here, but I will try my best to come back to this promptly after my trip. I hope you have a workaround for the time being.

What does this line do? toLocaleString doesn't set anything, so I think the return of this function is unused.

My understanding is it returns a correctly coded datetime using the correct locale.
