    WinHTTP failing with .asp pages

    I have a WinHttp.WinHttp Request.5.1 object that works perfectly when GETing .htm pages, but times out when trying to GET .asp pages.

    I have tried using setCredentials:

    Code:
    Set Http = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
Http.Open "GET", "http://<path>/filename.asp", False
Http.setCredentials "<domain>\Administrator", "<password>",0
Http.Send
    This also fails. The system is WinXP with IIS 5.

    I can run the same code on a Win 2003 server running IIS 6 and it works. Is there a setting I have forgotton on my system that will let this work?

      I'm copying this to the iis forum just in case they know more about this issue.

          Is the problem with any .asp page or just a certain one? I had an issue with pages in the past that redirected to another page. Not sure if the fix was to install some updates or to switch to a different component. You might try using CreateObject("M icrosoft.XMLHTT P") and see how it goes...

              Any page. This is the one I use for testing and it shows that the content is not important:
              Code:
              <!-- new_page_1.asp -->
<html>
<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>
<body>
Test
</body>
</html>
              I have tried Msxml2.ServerXM LHTTP.6.0 and Microsoft.XMLHT TP with the exact same result - a timeout on .asp but no problem with .htm. It is something to do with the ability of the component to run asp.dll I think.

                  ok, just to verify since you mentioned the version of IIS. Is your problem with IIS being able to serve pages (ie can you browse to http://<path>/filename.asp just fine in a browser) ? Or is it only a problem you're having using xmlhttp to request .asp pages regardless of which server it is located?

                      The latter. The asps are browsable.
