Hi.  My app requires being able to generate an iCalendar (.ics)
resource and view it on Google Calendar.  Unfortunately, Google
Calendar times out whenever grabbing the calendar from appengine.

I thought it might be Google Calendar's fault, but it grabs the
calendar fine when it comes from elsewhere.  E.g., Google itself,
  
http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/usa%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

or when I take that same data and serve it from another server
(without the proper mime type),
  http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~taleahma/projects/misc/us_holidays.ics

The problem is when I try to serve the exact same file from appspot,
  http://wajudoo.appspot.com/media/misc/us_holidays.ics

Then in Google Calendar, after some delay, I get a "Settings error"
dialog  with the message "Could not fetch the url."

I suppose the request takes too long and times out, but I don't see
how I can make it any faster as it's already a static file.  It needs
to be dynamic eventually but I tried to eliminate possible causes.
Fwiw, the calendar from appspot loads fine in Apple's iCal.

Is there any way to serve a calendar from Google's AppEngine to
Google's Calendar?

thanks for any help,
Turadg
