I just verified that in my case it does not matter whether I have that setting 
on or off. Only https://HOST.DOM.AIN/freebusy/ will work - 
https://HOST/freebusy/ will not.

One thing I've noticed: If I use the "short" form (HOST only), *no* requests 
are sent from Kontact to the Kolab server. I can see no activity 
in /kolab/var/apache/log/apache-access.log 
If I change the URL back to HOST.DOM.AIN, the requests can be seen. In my 
opinion, this does fit with your description - if Kontact performs the check 
you mentioned first, it probably never bothers to query the server if the 
check fails.

Still, I cannot see the output you mention - neither on the console, nor 
in .xsessions-error.

Cheerio,
