Fixed for me! I speculated that it was to do with HTTPS wildcard certficates and google (the *.lds.org) issue.
So I wrote a wrapper handler which is at https://mail.liddicott.com/ldscalendar.php/ - which anyone can use.
if your calendar id is 123456, then you can sync to the URL https://mail.liddicott.com/ldscalendar.php/123456
If I forget to renew my ssl certificate it may stop working, but you can also use http instead of https
This works and imports "instantly" for me.
Also, you can add any junk you like after your number (precede junk by a slash) e.g.:
https://mail.liddicott.com/ldscalendar. ... 6/test.ics
means your browser will try and save a file called "test.ics" - you can stick any fake-filename you like on the end.
perhaps there is enough of a clue here (that this works) that the developers can fix the problem.
In case anyone wants to run their own wrapper, the php code is here listed on the page - it is very quick and dirty, but it's years since I did php.
Changes: add the church's no-cache tags to avoid search engines and so forth. Also added robots.txt to my site.
This worked perfectly for me... I added the calendar, it populated on Google, then my Droid updated just fine. Thanks so much for the assist.
