Problem syncing Google Calendars

Having a problem with iCal and syncing to Google Cals. All has been working well for at least 12 months since I set it up for my office. I have 4 differenmt calendars under one account which everyone syncs to and everyone can read and write to. Today we are all getting an error saying that the loaction does not support this request or something along those lines.


I have tried temporarily deleting the account in iCal and creating it again but it will not work (getting a note to say 'Server With Secure Communication Unavailable'. No setting have changed on our network / firewall so I'm guessing this is a google issue...? My own personal Gmail calendar is doing the same thing.


As a side note the same calendars seem to be syncing perfectly with my ipad and iphone...? Also when I visit the Gmail account in question the calendars are there and are operating correctly...!


Anyone having similar issues...?


Thanks

Yes same problem here - on Mac OSX 10.7.3 with ical connected to google apps for business (and a personal gmail account). iCal now does not sync and comes up with an error https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/.../user/ is not a location that supports this request. Re-adding the account using system prefs->mail, contacts&calendars and selecting the gmail option doesn't fix it either. Looks like we'll have to wait and see if google fix it.


Cheers,

I was looking into the Console messages that showed up:

So this is certainly Google doing something to their servers...
