Title: "Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT" Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # "Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT" * Resolved [lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) * (@lyn12) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/) * Hello! * I’m getting this error code displayed above my calendar on my website: “Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT Please ensure your feed URL is correct.” * I verified that the feed URL was correct and I’m still getting it. Any idea how to solve this? Events aren’t displayed anymore on the widget. * Checked the calendar URL directly and it’s working well and still set as public. I don’t know what went wrong here… * Thank you! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-events/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-events/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [CodyG123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codyg123/) * (@codyg123) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504809) * I had what sounds like the same issue … a 403 error in the widget saying the calendar was not set to public … but after rechecking at Google, the calendar was set to public. I had to take the widget offline. Today, I upgraded to the latest gcalendar version and tried the widget again, and now it works. 🙂 * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504876) * Can you send me an example link [@lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/)? * You are using the latest version, correct? * Thread Starter [lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) * (@lyn12) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504906) * I updated to the latest version today and here’s the error I get now: Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT Please ensure your calendar ID is correct. * [@nick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick/): here’s the website link, calendar is in the right sidebar: [http://nuweb9.neu.edu/numa/?page_id=21](http://nuweb9.neu.edu/numa/?page_id=21) * I am wondering if the problem comes from the fact that calendar is hosted on a Google apps for business account? This has never caused a problem before in the pas 6 months I have used this plugin, but maybe it does now? Just mentioning it in case it matters. * This is what the calendar ID looks like: [husky.neu.edu_a19mv2tlia167m2dsavcrad53g@group.calendar.google.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/husky.neu.edu_a19mv2tlia167m2dsavcrad53g@group.calendar.google.com?output_format=md) ( husky.neu.edu is for the Google apps account mentioned before). * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504937) * [@lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/), * I am not seeing the error on your site. I tried using your calendar ID in my own test and it seems to be working fine for me. I see that the events are not showing up in your widget though so maybe there are some other settings limiting what is being shown. * Let me know if you are still getting error though. * Thread Starter [lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) * (@lyn12) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504939) * [@nick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick/) I am still getting the error today :/ * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504971) * Please try updating to the latest version to see if that helps. * Thread Starter [lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) * (@lyn12) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504976) * Just updated and it’s still not working :/ * [aparente001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aparente001/) * (@aparente001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504979) * Could you share your feed settings? * If you try putting shortcode in a page, instead of relying on the widget, do things go any better? * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504982) * The API request is returning the events correctly so it’s not an issue with that. I am thinking it might be a host issue with how much data is trying to be retrieved. * What are your options for Feed Start time and Feed End time? What happens if you make that a little less, say 1 month back and 3 months forward or something similar? * Thread Starter [lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) * (@lyn12) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504983) * I also have the calendar on a page here, same problem [http://nuweb9.neu.edu/numa/?page_id=2476](http://nuweb9.neu.edu/numa/?page_id=2476) * Nick – just tried changing those settings to what you mentioned, still not working. * [aparente001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aparente001/) * (@aparente001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504984) * I tried creating a feed with your calendar ID, and displaying it in a test page. This worked fine. * When I visit your site I see a grid calendar in the sidebar. I don’t see the 403 error; on the other hand, I don’t see your events either. * Could you share your feed settings and formatting code here? * May I suggest that you try both grid and list, with both the Event Builder and the Simple Display Options? It would be good to know if you’re able to display your calendar in some shape or form. * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504988) * [@lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/), * Do you have the option “Expand recurring events” checked? * Also, are you using the event builder codes or simple display options? If the event builder, then what is the codes for it? * Thread Starter [lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) * (@lyn12) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504990) * The feed settings are as follows: [http://i.imgur.com/wGzxTR4.png](http://i.imgur.com/wGzxTR4.png) * I’m using simple display options. * I tried displaying the calendar as a list and it said I didn’t have any events on it – it definitely does, as you can see on the direct calendar URL: [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=husky.neu.edu_a19mv2tlia167m2dsavcrad53g%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York](https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=husky.neu.edu_a19mv2tlia167m2dsavcrad53g%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York) * [aparente001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aparente001/) * (@aparente001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5504996) * I did a brand-new test of your calendar ID, with settings all the same as yours, and again, my test came out fine. I have two ideas to offer: – make the cache duration very small, so you don’t have to manually empty the cache each time you fiddle with something. – change to a simple theme temporarily and see if that helps. I’m using twentytwelve. * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/received-http-code-403-from-proxy-after-connect/#post-5505009) * Thanks for helping out [@aparente001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aparente001/). * I am marking this resolved since I assume it has been taken care of due to there being no responses here. * If you need any additional help [@lyn12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyn12/) please let us know. * Thanks!
