Thanks for this suggestion. I too looked into the source code and found this to
be the problem. But the solution I used was to add the following lines

href = href.endsWith("/") ? href.substring(0,href.length() - 1) : href;
href=href.replaceAll("\\[","%5B");
href=href.replaceAll("\\]","%5D");
href=href.replaceAll("\\|","%7C");
href=href.replaceAll("\\^","%5E");
href=href.replaceAll("\\`","%60");

This I found to work perfectly. And the reason for the replaces statments is to
encode all special charaters that the exchange server might return. I suppose
that this would be better done with the URLEncoder.

This seems to be a long standing issue and because the fix is so simple I do not
know why it has not been implemented yet.

I will be using my modified class until the changes are implemented in the
official source code.
