Re: [TOOLS-DEVELOPMENT] ical server issue

Here's an interesting data point:

If I download the file at the https://ical.ietf.org/public.php/IAOC/calendar
URL manually, and save it as an ICS file on my desktop, and then I "Import"
that file into Google, the times display correctly.

It is only if I ask Google to "subscribe" to the URL in live-feed mode that
it seems to incorrectly compute the times.

As there is no difference in the data flow or what is pulled (since the
Calendar server sends everything via HTTP in the same way), I wonder if
something in Google's subscription processor is tripping on something
somewhere.

That's not a solution - because you obviously want the live feed - but it
does provide an additional point of validation, if you like, of the data.
