[EventCalendar] Google Calendar permissions issue with Event Calendar subscription

[firetree_ec3 at spamex.com]

I wanted the "export," or direct URI to the .ics file (Same as iCal  
"Subscribe" link, except that Google uses "http://", not "webcal://").

Here's an example of what I'm doing:

http://cmarshall.net/test.php?uri=http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/ 
up9ba31v77o3bvjfoh1soeqapk%2540group.calendar.google.com/public/ 
basic.ics

This will return an XML dump. The first part of my work is developing  
a reliable XML parse of a vCalendar file (which is not XML). After I  
am satisfied that I'm getting good XML, then I'll throw an  
interpreter around it.

Try this:

1) Go to "Calendar Settings" for that calendar.

2) Click on the green "iCal" button.

I think that will give you what you need.
