IIS Server Security >> Forb

by VJ » Thu, 10 Feb 2005 23:42:45 GMT

My code to read a POST (i.e GET) information seems to
work fine... but when I change the URL read a POST, to one in my Windows
2003 IIS 6.0
Framework 1.1 & ASP.NET machine, it fails with "The remote server returned
an error: (403) Forbidden." at the below point

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

I am guessing its some config information. . I need to make that specific
directory writeable I guess... how do I do that? No matter what I try.. if I
see properties for the folder from WIN Explorer I see it as Read-Only

There are many reasons why the IIS server would reply 403. To find out what
the reason is in your case look what the substatus is in the IIS log file.
Then go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb ;en-us;318380 to
get the description of the reason.
