Hi
I've been trying to authenticate with OWA2003 that has form-based
authentication.
The problem is I just don't get it :)
Konqueror has webdav support and I'm able to browse my mail folder
using it. But in order to do so I have to authenticate using https and
form-based login, then konqueror can do webdav queries.
I saw an article pointing out that one needed to pass the right
arguments to owaauth.dll in order to get a cookie. I made a perl
snippet that did excatly that, and I was able to login and fetch mail
using https. The problems is that I want to use webdav, it's a lot
easier to parse xml than html:)
Do I use the cookie I get from owaauth.dll when authentication with
webdav?
I have never used webdav before so I'm not very familier with the
protocol.

Thanks for helping me out :)

Hello,

you don't need to parse the result you get from owaauth.dll.

Just take the two cookies you get and pass them along with each WebDAV
request.

I've an article on my website on this topic:
