HTTP Request Error - The download of the specified resource has failed

[mclemmer]

Has anyone run across the following error when making an HTTP request?

"the download of the specified resource has failed"

The following code snippet produces the error.

Dim HttpReq As Object
Set HttpReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
HttpReq.Open "POST", "http://127.0.0.1:8080/AppTest/SearchServlet", False
HttpReq.Send 'The error occurs here. "the download of the specified resource has failed"

It doesn't matter if I use synchronous or asynchronous. Or if I use MSXML2.XMLHTTP or Microsoft.XMLHTTP.

The kicker is that this code worked previously when I was using a trial version of AutoCAD, but is now not working after I installed the licensed version. I don't see any connection, but that was the only thing that changed. I'm using AutoCAD 2010 on a Vista PC.

Any problem getting the resource via Explorer ?

If I simply removed the first line of my code snippet:

Dim HttpReq As Object

It started to work fine again.

Thanks Tony for pointing me in the direction of using IE to see if it worked there. That clued me in on the offending line of code.
