Connecting SharePoint Calendar View to Outlook

Question

I am creating SharePoint solution.

I need to be able to connect calendar view to the Outlook. Really good solution is posted here: Sharepoint task list and Outlook sync

But it doesn’t work due authentication problems: When I do ctx.RewritePath I get 401 error.

I am using SharePoint 2010 and Windows Authentication providers with NTLM. Currently I am trying to trick Outlook by writing HttpModule and trying inject correct result into response, but it’s not going well.

Are there any other solution to this problem?

Thank you, Andy

I have ended up just creating a HttpModule that in context_PreRequestHandlerExecute gets the view and then constructs and returns SOAP back. Outlook seems to be happy.
