HttpWebREquest results in "notfound". IE is able to find it...

[David Rogers]

When I surf to http://Englebert/Misc_Application/UpdateVersion.xml, IE
displays the XML.

However, if I:

string url = "http://Englebert/Misc_Application/UpdateVersion.xml";
HttpWebResponse Response;

//Retrieve the File
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
Request.Headers.Add("Translate: f");
Request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
//Set up the last modfied time header
if (File.Exists(filePath))
Request.IfModifiedSince = LastModFromDisk(filePath);
try
{
Response = (HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();
}
catch(WebException e)
{
...

I always take then exception with: HttpStatusCode.NotFound


Can anyone offer guidance? This happened after running MBSA and the IIS
Lockdown tool

This works when I remove the header: "Translate:f". Is this really needed?

No it's not a standard header...
