asterisk users - Jun 2011 - Request: please test modification to EWS calendar functionality

I have expanded the EWS calendar functionality within Asterisk 1.8 so it 
is now possible to access any calendar within an Exchange 2007 or 2010 
server.

I have put the changes onto the reviewboard for astrisk but currently no 
one responded.
So if you use the EWS calendar functionality within Asterisk and would 
like to have access to any calendar in Exchange please try the patch in 
the following review request: https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/1152/.

Please reply to the reviewboard if it is working for you or if you 
experience problems.

Regards,

Michel Verbraak.

Anders,

Please do not top post for readability. I also included the list again 
because the previous post was send to me directly.

I was thinking of creating a new function call, from the dialplan, where 
you can specify a calendar from the calendar.conf file for the 
url+user+secret and as extra arguments the two new fields folderbase and 
folderpath.

Something like 
Set(status=${GET_CURRENT_CALENDAR_STATUS(calname,folderbase,folderpath)})

This extension to the calendar module will be a seperate patch and for 
that to work the current one on the reviewboard needs to be included 
into the main trunk of asterisk.

Are you able to test the current upload on the reviewboard and post your 
results back to the board?

Regards,

Michel.
