thanks ryan, i was using the wrong URL...

Is there a way to find the access level of another persons calendar.
For example, i have created a web application which allows you to add
events into other peoples calendars. The user decides which calendar
to add into by choosing an option from a drop down menu. The drop down
menu is populated with all the people who this user has access to. The
application finds the email address associated with the chosen
calendar, and this is how events are added into it:

URL feedUrl =
                  new URL("http://www.google.com/calendar/
feeds/"+selectedCalendarEmailAddress+"/private/full");

//Code to construct an event and insert it etc...

So imagine Luke Jones gives me read-only permission to his calendar.
How can I check my access level to his calendar before I try adding an
event into it?

thanks

Brett
