XMLHTTP with IP vs. DNS name

[travisbrown]

So I think this is odd. Anyone else concur, or have a solution?

I have an intranet site with integrate Windows Auth on.

If I pass in a qualified url to the MSXML call using the dns name, it's fine.
If I pass in a qualified url to the MSXML call using the ip, I get this message:

msxml3.dll error '80072eef'
The login request was denied

The reason it's and issue is I'd usually use request.servervariables("http_host") as a variable prefix for the script names for portability. The environments don't always have a DNS name.

url = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://192.168.0.105:8040/test.asp"[/URL] 'fails
url = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://servername:8040/test.asp"[/URL] 'succeeds

'url = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://"[/URL] & request.servervariables("http_host") & "/test.asp" 'pass or fail based on actual url root.

response.write XMLHTTP(url,params,"testuser","testpassword")

FUNCTION XMLHTTP(url,params,username,password)
	IF url <> "" THEN
	  Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
	  xml.Open "GET", url & params, False,username,password
	  xml.Send
	  XMLHTTP = xml.responseText
	  Set xml = Nothing
	 ELSE
	 	XMLHTTP = "Error! No destination."
	END IF
END FUNCTION

Do both URLS work if you paste them into the address bar of your web browser?

 

[travisbrown]

Yes. Both work fine.

Specify at least version 4.0 with version-dependent progid.
[tt] Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP[red].4.0[/red]") 'testing up 5.0 and 6.0[/tt]
