WinHttp Gets 404 File Not Found

Question

I am grabbing a webpage with WinHttp and the resulting page is the site's 404 file not found page. I know that the code works as I have tested it with other websites. The page in question is a normal http protocol and .html file.

What can I do?

Answer 1

You don't give a whole lot to go on. I'd probably start with a trace of the HTTP session from your WinHttp calls and compare it with a trace from a working browser-based session and see what's different. Could be anything from a cookie to a referer field to who-knows-what that the server might not like.
