The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

the status is 7 witch equates to WebExceptionSta tus.ProtocolErr or

I have the same web site on my production server but when loaded on my live
server it errors.

both servers are the same setup as far as I can remember I have nothing
different

"/contact/email.aspx").Ge tResponse
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(wr .GetResponseStr eam())

Re: HttpWebRequest returning 404 when page exists

Like so many times as soon as I post my problem the solution comes to me.

In my case it is because I have a second domain name pointing to the server
and using the server variable to get the server name gets a domain name that
is not included in the internal dns so it does not resole internally.
