Google Calendar integration

RT has a native iCal export, and RTx::Calendar provides another.
Alas, from what I’ve been able to determine, Google Calendar does
not like calendars over SSL.

Naturally. You’re not allowed to have secrets from the all-knowing Google.

Is there any trick to copying the iCal link at the top of the search results screen into Google Calendar? I have tried multiple combinations of it, removing the HTML-friendly spaces and equal signs, putting the address in quotes, but none of them seem to work.

Is there a chance you could share how you did what I would assume would be a really simple straight forward task?

Thanks,

If there was a trick, I’d have shared it. I copied and I pasted and
it worked. I’ve not removed any spaces or equal signs, they’re all
HTML escaped in my link. If I copy/paste a calendar link from a 3.8.8
RT I see things like %20AND%20(%20%20Status%20%3D%20’new’%20OR%20Status%20%3D%20’open’%20
so no removal necessary.

Thats what I would have assumed, but when copying and pasting didn’t seem to work for me I figured I’d ask the experts. Once I get my current installation (3.8.5) migrated to 3.8.8, I’ll give it another shot and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again.
