Apache behind proxy

To communicate to google-calendar, apache needs to know proxy server. Write following in httpd.conf file

SetEnv HTTP_PROXY 172.16.223.223:3128
SetEnv HTTPS_PROXY 172.16.223.223:3128

To make sure that server accepts API requests from android app.

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "content-type"
