Google-calendar – Google Calendar not showing updated entries from iCal URL

google-calendarical

I've created a new Google Calendar to display entries from an iCal URL. Both methods, described below, were used to accomplish this:

  1. Google Calendar → Other Calendars → Add by URL

  2. Google Calendar → Other Calendars → Import Calendar

The source application, if anyone is interested is SugarCRM. In the application, it displays the iCal URL in this format:
http://abcd.com/ical_server.php?type=ics&key=fasfdsdfdfd&email=techwire@abcd.com

Question 1: Is this the problem? Should the protocol be webcal:// instead of http://?

Additional info: I've set up the SugarCRM calendar in MS Outlook using the HTTP URL and Outlook updates correctly whenever I add a new entry in Outlook.

As a test, I shared the calendar from Outlook and it shows the exact same URL, except it displays it as webcal://abcd.com/ical_server.php?type=ics&key=fasfdsdfdfd&email=techwire@abcd.com

I'll create some more entries as a test and see if that's the issue, but has anyone run into this problem?

The official Google answer:

Currently, calendar feeds are automatically updated by Google Calendar every few hours. We understand that some users want to have the ability to refresh the calendars they added manually and we are exploring various ways to enable this.
