Google Calendar: Could not fetch URL error
dcrabill says:
I am trying to load my RTM tasks into Google Calendar. I am following the instructions on the FAQ as to how to do this: 1) publish 2) copy icalendar events URL 3) subscribe in Google.
I am receiving this error from Google after adding the URL: Could not fetch URL error.
I have tried in both IE and Firefox. This is the URL I am copy and pasting: webcal://www.rememberthemilk.com/icalendar/dcrabill/911870/events/
I would really like to get this working, it seems like a great website and feature! Thanks in advance for any help!!

dcrabill, thanks for letting us know. We've checked out your iCalendar feed, and it looks fine on our end.
Some people have experienced temporary problems subscribing with Google Calendar -- sometimes it will work if you wait a few hours and then try to subscribe again. Would you be able to try again and see if it works? Thanks!

Yay it worked! Thanks Emily. I really love this site. What a great idea!!
Maybe I can find the answer to this in the FAQ, but... I am wondering if my Google calendar will update quickly after I update my RTM tasks? Thanks again!!!!

My suspicion is that your RTM calendar feed is updated instantly, but that Google only polls/checks that feed periodically... perhaps every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
If Google calendar were able to poll your iCal feed from RTM more often you'd see the items more quickly.

I think Google Calendar is updating this around every 3 hours (although it might be faster now).
