I've uploaded the slide webdav client code to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/webdavclient4j  where it can be
maintained/enhanced as necessary.  

The new name is intended to convey that this can (or rather, will, depending
on contributions) interoperate with a variety of webdav servers.

I've uploaded the slide webdav client code to

maintained/enhanced as necessary.

I've replaced the unsupported HttpClient with the newer 3.0.1 client.

accessing Exchange 2003

Hello,

first of all, sorry for my English. Second, I'm using WebDAV since last friday.
But I have some problems to learn WebDAV.

I'm trying to connect to an Exchange server. Therefor I read on MSDN some
articles and use the examples from there, e.g.
http://www.msexchange.org/articles/Access-Exchange-2000-2003-Mailbox-WebDAV.html .

I tried to understand the example and execute it. Then I tried to make this
example with Java and Slide, but all the time I get an UnknownHostException when
I use a SearchMethod with query. If I just connect and disconnect like this

HttpURL httpURL = new HttpURL(...);
WebdavResource webdavResource = new WebdavResource(httpURL);
webdavResource.disconnect();

everything is fine.

May some of you guys have a little example with Slide for me to connect to a MS
Exchange server? That would be great.

Thanks a lot.

Ciao, Micha
