Thank you Geoff,
I had the same issue when retrieving a calendar EventEntry using the EventEntryID retrieved when the calendar EventEntry was first created.

Unfortunately, even though the EventEntry was created using an SSL connection, the returned EventEntryID had a ‘HTTP’ prefix. I simply replaced ‘HTTP’ with ‘HTTPS’ and it worked like a charm.

VB .Net snippet
‘ the stored evententryid is prefixed with http,
‘ but the authsub scope is https
‘ Google.GData.Client.GDataRequestException()
‘ 401 Token invalid – AuthSub token has wrong scope
strEventEntryID = strEventEntryID.Replace(“http”, “https”)

Respectfully yours,

Alan
