Thanks for bringing this. It gave me some new keywords for google search. It looks that it
is a new protocol. And the request seems to come from Office365 servers not directly from
Outlook.

I didn't find an official protocol spec, but I've found

https://www.msxfaq.de/exchange/autodiscover/autodiscover_v2.htm
and
https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/blob/master/data/web/autodiscover-json.php

I don't know though if implementing this in our autodiscover service is enough.
