Hi slp3ddev,

I agree that the docs in the Calendar data API protocol guide should
cover updating and deleting events.  I'm currently working on a new
revision that will cover updating and deleting events as well as some
other features that are documented in the language specific tabs but
not in the protocol section.

To address your original issue about the edit links, are you using
token authentication (i.e. ClientLogin or Authsub) or magic-cookie
authentication?  The edit links are only available when using token
authentication, so you should check out the AuthSub docs here:

http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/AuthForWebApps.html

Once you get the edit URLs, you can update an entry by sending a HTTP
PUT to the edit URL (with the event entry in the message body) and
delete an entry by sending a HTTP DELETE to the edit URL (with nothing
in the message body).

Hope that gets you coding again,
Lane
