newly unable to share spreadsheet programmatically using gdata apis

[Patricia N Goldweic]

Hi,
My production app seems to be unable to programmatically share spreadsheets today. The app uses the gdata Java client apis to do this. The exceptions are of the type:

com.google.gdata.util.InvalidEntryException: Invalid request URI
<errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'><error><domain>GData</domain><code>invalidRequestUri</code><internalReason>Invalid request URI</internalReason></error></errors>

When a new acl entry is trying to be inserted in the acl feed.

The acl feed url used is of the form: https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/spreadsheet%3A0Aglud2zNCgNwdGNDamhiNXNyRUJOT2tDOVZWRTViQWc#gid=0/acl

NOTE: the url above on production reads 'http' instead of 'https', but I've just tried switching it to 'https' and I get the same result.

In addition, my code then tries to see if it can *find* an already existing similar acl entry in the feed, but it is unable to retrieve this feed, getting an 'Unknown authorization header' as a response.

Has anything changed today on Google's end that would cause this code to break? Please advise. Thanks,
-Patricia
