Hello,

There is a problem with the getItem() function when trying to retrieve an event which has been created on Google calendar web site. It returns a null item with no error. Investigations show that it was caused by the following portion of code in calGoogleCalendar.js/cGC_getItem_response_onResult:

			var itemEntry = xml.entry.(id.substring(id.lastIndexOf('/') + 1) == aOperation.itemId ||
                                       gCal::uid.@value == aOperation.itemId ||
                                       gd::extendedProperty.(@name == "X-MOZ-SYNCID").@value == aOperation.itemId);

It raises the following exception (not traced even when debug logs are enabled):

Exception = ReferenceError: reference to undefined XML name http://schemas.google.com/g/2005::extendedProperty

If the code part "gd::extendedProperty.(@name == "X-MOZ-SYNCID").@value == aOperation.itemId" is removed, then getItem() behaves properly.

This error prevent BirdieSync from synchronizing events from the Google calendar.

Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks a lot for your help.
