send a fax using webdav   

i can send an email via webdav on an exchange server:

      Dim xmlReq As MSXML.XMLHTTPRequest
        Dim strText

        On Error GoTo ErrHandler
        ' Construct the text of the PUT request.
        strText = "From: " & strFrom & vbNewLine & _
           "To: " & strTo & vbNewLine & _
           "Subject: " & strSubject & vbNewLine & _
           "Date: " & Now & _
           "X-Mailer: test mailer" & vbNewLine & _
           "MIME-Version: 1.0" & vbNewLine & _
           "Content-Type: text/plain;" & vbNewLine & _
           "Charset = ""iso-8859-1""" & vbNewLine & _
           "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" & vbNewLine & _
           vbNewLine & _
           strBody

        ' Create the DAV PUT request.
        xmlReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
        xmlReq.open("PUT", strSubURL, False, strUserName, strPassWord)
        If strText <> "" Then
            xmlReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "message/rfc822")
            xmlReq.send(strText)
        End If

Re: send a fax using webdav   

Its sound like its something to do with your syntax one possible way you 
might want to look at to resolve this is create an email with a fax 
recipient via OWA and then save it to the drafts folder. Then using 
something like this 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_getting_an_items_stream_http.asp 
to get the stream from the item in the drafts folder. You should then have 
the exact syntax for what the headers of the message should look like when 
you want to send a fax you should then be able to convert this into 
something that should work.
