We're getting a spate of reports from Germany that events with unicode
characters in their titles are being rejected by Google with 500
errors. Here's an example:
<entry xmlns:app="http://purl.org/atom/app#"; xmlns:gd="http://
schemas.google.com/g/2005" xmlns:gCal="http://schemas.google.com/gCal/
2005" xmlns:batch="http://schemas.google.com/gdata/batch";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>
<gd:when startTime="2008-12-10T11:00:00+01:00"
endTime="2008-12-10T12:45:00+01:00"></gd:when>
<gd:extendedProperty value="D22DC30C-9372-4512-
A29A-43287A1A7E7D" name="busymac.com#uid"></gd:extendedProperty>
<gd:transparency value="http://schemas.google.com/g/
2005#event.opaque"></gd:transparency>
<title>Bewerbungsgespräch</title>
<content type="text"></content>
<category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind";
term="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event";></category>
</entry>
Response ->
<atom:entry>
<batch:status code="500" reason="Server Error"></batch:status>
<title type="text">Error</title>
<content type="text">Server Error</content>

The "ä" is the way \U00e4 shows in my ASCII log. That unicode
character is an a with an umlaut over it.
I haven't changed anything in my code, and it still works fine in the
U.S. of A. Is Google.de just being flaky, or does the <title> tag now
require a type property in foreign lands?
I'm using the Objective-C GData library, if that helps.
