Re: Exchange public calendar link to external web possible?

Hi Nathan

I noticed in your description to bitsmahser that in your example of the
server address to use
"http://<exchange_server_address>/public/<shared_folder" you didn't include
an s on http. Was that intentional or did you mean https for accessing the
public/shared folder?

Thanks
Jeff
