How do I respond to a meeting request using WebDAV (Exchange 2000/2003)?
Thanks in advance.

It's very hard to find any information about doing high-level thing like
this in WebDAV. My best suggestion is to simulate an OWA button press, and
send a GET request to the Meeting Request's URL, but with /Cmd=accept (or
tentative, or decline) appended to the end of the URL. You should get the
HTML source for an OWA page as a response. You will then need to examine
the response for the occurrence of the text "<BASE HREF=". The URL
following this text is the URL of the newly created response, if it was
successful.
Lee.

You may want to use CDO for Exchange which can do this. It does need to run
on the Exchange Server but you could expose the functionality as a web
service that you call in the mid-tier.

Okay, this sort of works - (in C#) I get a WebException with an error of 401
(Unauthorized), yet the meeting request is gone from the Inbox, and the
"accepted" response is in Drafts.
Any ideas of why this half works? Thanks in advance.

I sometimes find when I do this sort of thing that the first response status
is 302 (a redirect to another form), but the credentials don't seem to be
used when the redirect is followed, causing a 401. I don't know enough
about C# to say exactly what you should do, but I fix it in VBScript by
configuring the HTTP component not to follow any redirects, and retrieving
its Location response header, and then following it 'non-automatically',
whatever the word for that is?
