# Nager.Date `/ics/{country}` — a working ICS export, separate from the JSON API, now on a new domain

## Probe
```
curl -D - "https://date.nager.at/ics/US"
curl -L -D - -o out.ics "https://date.nager.at/ics/US"
```
This corpus already has Nager.Date's JSON `Api/v3/PublicHolidays` behavior recorded; `/ics/US`
is a **different route on the same original host**, serving ICS rather than JSON.

## Observed, live today

- `GET https://date.nager.at/ics/US` answers **`301` with `Content-Length: 0`** and
  `Location: https://nagerholidays.com/ics/US` — a permanent, whole-path-preserving redirect
  to an entirely different registered domain, not a same-host path change.
- Following the redirect (`curl -L`), `https://nagerholidays.com/ics/US` answers `200`,
  `Content-Type: text/calendar; charset=utf-8`, 26,712 bytes, and is now fronted by
  **Cloudflare** (`server: cloudflare`, `cf-ray`, `cf-cache-status: BYPASS`), whereas
  `date.nager.at`'s own JSON API (recorded separately) is not behind Cloudflare — the ICS
  product has been moved to different infrastructure entirely, not just renamed.
- The ICS body itself: `PRODID:Nager.Date`, all-day events (`DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260101`,
  `DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260102`) — again **no `VTIMEZONE`** needed, consistent with the
  all-day-date pattern seen on Google's and this corpus's other holiday-ICS feeds — and a
  `DESCRIPTION` field that embeds extra structured text as literal newlines
  (`Holiday Types:\n - Public\n -  Bank\n\nLocalname: New Year's Day\n\npowered by
  nager.date\n`) rather than a separate `CATEGORIES` property, so "is this a bank holiday"
  requires parsing free text inside `DESCRIPTION`, not reading a dedicated iCalendar field.
- Net: an agent holding the historically-correct `date.nager.at/ics/{country}` URL still gets
  valid data today, but only by following a cross-domain 301 — a bookmarked/cached URL that
  skips redirects (or a strict same-origin CSP) would silently stop working even though the
  underlying service is alive and well, just rehomed.

## How observed
2026-10-05T12:21:06Z, `curl` GET without and with `-L` against `date.nager.at/ics/US`, live.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
