  MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP Reply Contact I am using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP object to read other files locally and am running into 2 different types of problems.  I've written a small program outside of all my objects to try and find out what is going wrong and it has highlighted this... Problem 1 - GET vs POST If use oXMLHTTP.Open "POST" it returns a HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed message, however, this works fine if I use oXMLHTTP.Open "GET".  I've tried searching for an explanation to this over the net but have not found anything which explains why a GET works but not a POST. Problem 2 - msxml3.dll error '80072ee2' - The operation timed out When I run my application normally, I receive this error when trying to do a oXMLHTTP.Open "POST" My code works fine on my laptop running XP with IIS6, as well as the office and internet servers which run IIS6 and 2000.  However, it does not work on my new machine which runs Vista Ultimate and IIS7. Somebody please help before I throw my Vista machine out of the window and onto the cars on the street below.

  Re: MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP Reply Contact OK, After much messing around with IIS7 and ASP, I have come to the following conclusion with my configuration... MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP works fine on //localhost when trying hit any static file (.htm, .xml etc).  When I try to hit a file with .asp extension, I get timeout errors. Anyone know how do I configure IIS7/Vista Security to allow MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to communicate with .asp files on //localhost? I've tried Googling and searching Microsoft.com for hours now and have not been able to find any answers. Cheers

  Re: MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP Reply Contact Hi Josephcarney, Since various application can call this object. I would like to know following aspects first to help finding the issue. What kind of application is using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP object? Are you using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP in ASP code? Is it Windows Application or script? And what do you mean by running application normally?   Zhao Ji Ma Sincerely, Microsoft Online Community Support “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

  Re: MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP Reply Contact It is a classic ASP file. When I hit another .asp file on //localhost using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP it times out.  When I hit any other type of file (.htm, .txt etc) on //localhost using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP it is ok. I've been through IIS7 and tried every combination of allowing GET, POST as allowed verbs etc and it still times out.  The same code works fine on XP //localhost as well as on the office intranet and internet servers.

  Re: MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP Reply Contact Yes, I have classic ASP is installed. I have a program called test.asp that uses the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP object to open another file on localhost.  If test.asp uses MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to open a file called testopen.xml or testopen.html, it works fine.  If test.asp uses MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to open a file called testopen.asp it hangs with a timeout error.  testopen.asp contains nothing but a response.write "testopen.asp file works ok" If test.asp uses MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to open a file on the internet, for example http://forums.iis.net then it works fine. The problem I am having is that IIS7 times out if you try to hit another .asp file on localhost.

Also, when the XMLHTTP object has a request open, NO-ONE can get an asp file from the server (it seems to be running asp in a single, blocking thread!). Ideas?  Owen Owen

I commented the line ::1 in the hosts file at \windows\system32\drivers\etc with a "#", saved the file and refreshed the cache with the command: nbtstat -R (command). It worked out gently. Cheers! steve schofield: Try commenting out ::1 in the hosts file.  Also, if you are running UAC, try disabling on a temporary basis.
