Interesting. What mail app are you using? I can't get any of my  
clients or test devices to actually request the json path.

I'll preface my response to your actual issue with this:  The json  
endpoint is not publicly documented by MS.  Our implementation was a  
best-guess based on investigation by myself and others. It's mostly  
based on what was returned by various known clients connecting to  
different Exchange hosts.

The reason your URL is not returning ANYTHING is because our code is  
looking for lower case value in the "protocol" parameter of the url.  
If you try that url in a browser, and replace the "ActiveSync" text  
with "activesync" you should see some response data.

I'm going to make a change in the code to accept any casing there,  
should be released by end of the day today (most likely in the "Core"  
package).


Please report back and let us know if the values we are returning  
actually do anything with your client :)
