Accessing Public Folders in MS Exchange

[gklandes]

I've created some simple apps using the <cfexchangeconnection> tools and that works great for getting mail, cal, tasks ... etc. from exchange for a specific user.

Does anyone know how to get calendar items from a "Public Folder" exchange?

My research has revealed that it is likely going to involve a webdav connection, but I haven't seen many details.
