Method '~' of object '~' failed' on PUT using xmlHTTP.send

Code:

Dim xmlHTTP As New MSXML2.xmlHTTP
Dim gXMLDoc As New DOMDocument ' MS XML 3.0

xmlHTTP.Open "PUT", http://www.someurl.com/uploads/" & parmDestFileName,
False

gXMLDoc.Load parmUploadFileName

xmlHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "text/xml"

xmlHTTP.send gXMLDoc

The error generated is Method '~' of object '~' failed' and it occurs on
that last statement.

The code, of course, works on hundreds of machines. It fails regularly on
only two or three. These machines are hooked to a network that, as the user
admin says:

"I think I know the problem. We have dual T-1 lines here and they do a sort
of load swapping function. The download may be swapping from one T-1 to the
other during the download. This of course shows up on your end as a
different IP address... We have the same problem with remote connections to
our clients using Remote Desktop Client. We have to physically assign IP
addresses of clients that we access regularly to use only one of the T-1
lines and not load swap. If we are in a terminal session, and the load
swapping occurs, it disconnects us from the session."

Might anyone have a suggestion?

Regards all,

i don't have any clue. But i can suggest using XmlHttpServer object, instead
of XmlHttp object.

Both have the same methods and properties; and are for all intents and
purposes equivalent.

Except that XmlHttpServer version works, whereas XmlHttp doesn't work.

At least that was my experience; a simple switch from

Dim xmlHTTP As New MSXML2.xmlHTTP
to
Dim xmlHTTP As New xmlHTTPServer

Either that, or maybe because XmlHttp requires IE5, and those machines don't
have it.

Ian,

You said: "Except that XmlHttpServer version works, whereas XmlHttp doesn't
work."

Funny. but that's not mentioned in the documentation <grin>

You mean "ServerXMLHTTP", right?

Thanks for the reply.

John

Oh, my bad. Sorry. That's the difference between IXmlHttpRequest, and
IXmlHttpServerRequest.

i got the four confused.
