Not able to add gadget to Gmail

wboglioli says:
Hello,

I have had the gadget on my gmail for a while now, but for some reason, the past 2 weeks, it hasn't been showing up. When I tried to re-add it to my google gadgets, it says that the URL is not correct and not valid. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to correct it?

Thanks

Hello,

I have the same issue. This morning it just didn't show up in the Gmail sidebar. Btw, I'm using the Firefox 3.0.8.
I tried adding it again via the "Add a gadget by its URL" lab- got this message:
Invalid gadget specification. Ensure that URL is correct and the gadget does not contain errors.

I'll proceed to the "submit a Gmail issue report" section...

Thanks

My RTM gadget has been working ok in both firefox (home) and IE (work) as recently as saturday, but has vanished this morning.

Trying to re-add the gadget gives me an invalid URL error.

I tried the HTTPS version -- https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/gmail/rtm_https.xml -- which works ok!

I've got "always use SSL" turned on in gmail, so perhaps Google are now using this to enforce HTTPS-only gadgets?

Same thing, it vanished this morning when I logged in. Invalid URL when re-adding.

Thanks Azium! I was having the same issue and using the HTTPS version works like a charm!

As a follow up, if I don't enforce HTTPS via Gmail, the non-HTTPS version still doesn't work.

Same problem - the gadget disappeared today and settings says I have no gadgets installed. When I try to add the RTM gadget by URL, I get the error "Invalid gadget specification. Ensure URL is correct and the gadget does not contain errors."

I have the same problem -- the gadget just disappeared a few days ago and when I try to add it, I get the error "Invalid gadget specification. Ensure that URL is correct and the gadget does not contain errors".

I have the Enforce SSL option turned on.

The https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/gmail/rtm_https.xml URL posted by azium works though!

Same Problem - resolved by using:
https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/gmail/rtm_https.xml
as the gadget address.

Thanks
