Is there a way to subscribe to the ical file in google calendar?
When I suscribe to the http://iwantsandy.com/list.ics feed google tells me it can't open it, I suspect because google doesn't have my cookies.. Anyway to add something to that so that sandy knows which calendar she needs to feed?
I’m confused

I think this would be the best option as well (and fairly easy to implement.)
Google does this for their own calendar subscriptions. As a new member I'd love a way to merge Sandy into my highly gcal centred view of things. An address such as iwantsandy.com/ calendar/username_or_whatever/private-RaNd0M_GeNeRaTed_sTrInG_HeRe/list.ics would work. (This example is a modified version of what big-G does for a private subscription address.)
I say this should be easy to implement from a web-app developer's standpoint, not just from some random user thinking it would somehow be easy to do standpoint ;-)
Thanks so much if you can fit this into a future upgrade, and thanks for the hard work so far.

Inappropriate?Hi Ron,
Sandy's iCalendar feed is password protected to keep your data safe, but unfortunately, Google Calendar doesn't support such feeds. Hopefully they'll add that feature one day, but until then it's not possible to subscribe directly.
I know it's not a great workaround, but if you download the file (http://iwantsandy.com/list.ics) and import it into Google Calendar, it'll work fine. You can also import the iCal attachments Sandy includes in her emails.
Sorry I don't have better news,
Marshall

Inappropriate?Why not use a private URL specific to each user's account and accessible only to the user instead of password protecting it?
I’m feeling overprotected

Inappropriate?I'd vote for this feature as well: I wanted to wire Sandy into 30boxes, but can't for the same reason -
Inappropriate?bummer. i'd actually start using gcal if this worked. -

Inappropriate?One workaround I found... spanning sync syncs up my iCal and GCal... I subscribe to Sandy in my ical and spanning sync imports it into my gcal.

Inappropriate?Hi, this sounds promising, what is a spanning sync? Ooops, I see, this is only for iCal and Mac users to sync to google cal.... not a solution for PC users and Sandy users...
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?YES! at least for me.
1. create a group calendar add your Sandy calendar to it.
2. Publish the group calender.
3. Profit -
Inappropriate?how did you get that to work? i want to sync all this stuff onto my blackberry using Google Sync.
