Alain,

Thanks a ton for your response.  Hopefully we can work this out together.  I
am the product mngr for the LDS Church's online calendar.

I've pasted more details below.

The following are live URLs from our 2 environments - I just tested them &
the Test one works & the Prod (production) one doesn't.

You should be able to paste them into your personal Google calendar &
reproduce the issue.  Let me know -

*

*Test*

*
http://new-test.lds.org/church-calendar/services/lucrs/ical/subscribe/3398576366140155328
*



*Prod*

*

*Issue Details*

1.    Problem started back in November, not sure if it was the same cause
back then.

2.    We found ics validation problems on our end and fixed all those
through several releases in an attempt to eliminate any causes we could

3.    User adds our calendar feed to his Google calendar by url and sees the
following symptoms at different times:

o     Google calendar puts up Importing Calendar message which seems to hang


o     Google calendar adds the calendar feed with no error, but no events
come

o     Google calendar tries briefly to import the calendar by url, but fails
fairly quickly with an "unable to import the url" error

o     If it's the same url as one that successfully worked before (for a
good year prior to November for most users), events simply stop coming in
but there are no errors or other indications that there is a problem.  Same
thing if we generate a new URL from our production environment ... the
events never come into the Google calendar

4.    Users can reliably import calendars from
http://new-test.lds.org/church-calendar/services/lucrs/ical/subscribe/*  (this
is our test server... this is why we are sure the bug is on Google's side,
because we know that everything except the URL is the same between our test
server and our prod server (the prod server is at the URL below in #5)

5.    Users are completely unable to import calendar from
http://lds.org/church-calendar/services/lucrs/ical/subscribe/*

6.    LDS.org network teams have verified that no network filtering is
occurring on these urls and that no forwarding to other blocked urls (or
https) is occurring

7.    Downloading the ics file from the blocked url and then importing the
file into Google Calendar works fine.
