Apple's iCal works for subscribing to a calendar, but obviously not for 
publishing (yet).  The only gotcha that I found was that when 
specifying the subscription URL in iCal, it wouldn't take HTTPS urls.  
We transparently redirect any non-SSL request to port 443 on our web 
server, so what was weird was that if you entered the URL with just 
http://blah, iCal would take the URL and retrieve the data.  So the 
issue seems to be more with iCal's rules for what a valid URL are, than 
what the actual data transport stream ends up being.

If you want to anonymously subscribe to a calendar, then you need to 
grant guest access to it.  But otherwise, when you attempt to subscribe 
with a desktop client, it should prompt you for authentication 
credentials.
