    Hello,

    I installed your plugin on my local computer just to test, and everything worked. Now that I switched to my remote host I’ve got this warning :
    =================

    Failed to connect to www.google.com port 80: Connection timed out
Assurez-vous que l'URL de votre Flux est correcte.

    ==================
    The second french line means “Please check if the URL is valid”.
    The URL is good, I checked it… As I said, I tested it localy.

    Is this an issue related to my hosting service?

    Hello again,

    My webhosting provider tells me to use a proxy to get the Google calendar infos because all outgoing request is blocked on the server. The url of the proxy looks like this :
    http://proxy.provider.fr:8080/

    Can somebody tells me how I can ask the plugin to use this proxy for the request?

    I guess, I should add some code into class-gce-feed.php file.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey! Found the solution!
    In wp-config.php, you just have to add the following lines :

    define('WP_PROXY_HOST', 'http://proxy.provider.fr');
define('WP_PROXY_PORT', '8080');
