Hello, I have an application that was developed in Visual Bacic 6.0. The
client app use xmlhttp for post data to a secure server https://xxxx.xxx
I've installed the application into 200 PCs. I have problems with some of
them. The errors are:
- The connection with the server was terminated abnormally" (The connection
with the server was terminated abnormally"-2147012866 )
-The download of the specified resource has failed
I tryed to use MSXML3, MSXML4 and i've got the same error...

One of the PC with error, it's configure with Windows XP SP2 with zone alarm
(firewall). I thought , maybe, that the problem is the firewall, i tray to
desactivate , but the problem still continue.
I put the site https://xxxx.xxx into trusted site. the same error.


Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

The KB that you referenced, apply for Win XPSP2 ?

Thanks.

Sorry Uriel, I missed the bit about XP. :-)

Are you trying to transfer a large amount of data, or does it fail on all
requests? The IIS meta-base has a parameter which can limit the transfer
size (AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed). I think under IIS 6.0 this limits the
transfers to about 200K. It's worth checking to see if that's different
across your installation machines.

Tony,
The transfers are small. The errors ocurred randomly, some requests work
fine and the pother no.
I changed the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed but it still with problem.
Any Idea ?

Is the server written by yourself or someone else Uriel? I just wanted to
confirm that the server side doesn't involve running VB6 code inside IIS/ASP
as there are potential threading issues. However, your symptoms seem to be
specific to certain client machines anyway.

I used to use zonealarm and got rid of it very quickly. I seem to remember
that it's not straightforward to deactivate or uninstall it since the
Service (truevector?) still runs in the background. It might be worth
explicitly stopping the service if you haven't already done that
