I'm working with Google's Calendar API, and I'm running into a bit of an issue. When I set the dateTime of an event I insert, I'm required to set the hour offset, but because o DST, it's off an hour. There is a property I can set for the calendar to set the timezone by name, which I would think would fix my problem, because Google would figure out the correct hour offset. However I do not know all of them, nor can I find a place that lists them. For example "America/Los_Angeles" or "Europe/Zurich". Anybody know where I can find them?
