If this worked, it would be the ideal simple solution, but I can't get
it to work (even with the "right" URL, according to http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/developers_guide_caldav.html)
.
I've tried to be a bit more explicit with the code below (attached)
but even that results in a 401 Unauthorized. Despite the above page,
there isn't much documentation for Google's CalDAV so I'm not sure if
I'm CalDAV'ing correctly to the server...

As for push vs. pull - I need push because Google can't see my
"server" to subscribe. FWIW, this is a path to publishing a calendar
onto the iPhone that I want to run on a colleague's Windows PC (but
that I will also happily run myself if/when I can get it working :-)
thanks,
Nathan
