No, it doesn't look like it.

Is this the same like described in the following thread? http://lists.horde.org/archives/kronolith/Week-of-Mon-20080428/006810.html

Luckily, it still works for me.  I set the extension to ".ics", but maybe it's supposed to be ".vcs".  I'm not really sure.  Anyway, here it is.

The link doesn't work for me anymore. Can you upload that file so that it doesn't get lost again?

The iCalendar library can parse that file; one problem seems to be that it's huge, so it takes a while to do anything with it. I'm not sure how effectively we're caching, though, and it doesn't seem to give usable information for me either.

No, but the feed actually *is* a valid free/busy url, so it should work.

Even if it isn't the free/busy feed, wouldn't it still be possible to deduce the free/busy times from it?

An example URL is http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/eric.standlee@gmail.com/public/basic as listed over at http://crusaderx.blogspot.com/2006/04/google-calendar-feature-share-freebusy.html.  Adding him as an attendee yields no information.

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure if that's a free/busy feed or a full calendar feed.  Which is it?  I thought they were the same.  It looks like that's all Google Calendar offers.  Maybe they don't support free/busy feeds after all.

Can you please supply an example URL? And are you sure that it's a free/busy feed, not the full calendar feed? They're different things.

If a user is added as an attendee to an event, and that user has a Google Calendar free/busy URL, http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/<e-mail-address>/public/basic, "No information" is all that comes up even though the non-iCal URL, http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=<e-mail-address>&ctz=America/Toronto, shows that the user is busy/not busy.  So there is information.  It's just not being read or processed.
