Hold on. Please help us help you by organizing and presenting consistent
data.
1. Please give the exact request you gave in Telnet that results in a 400.
If you need irrefutable evidence, make a NetMon capture of it as well as
metabase configuration for the URLs in question, and that's about all that's
need.
2. Please give the exact request you gave which resulted in a 404.
Ken asked for the request that resulted in a 404, and you gave a request
that resulted in 400 -- please give corroborating info. 400 Bad Requests
are only stored in HTTPERR -- 404 requests would be in W3SVC# -- where are
you getting your info and how are you sure it's the right one?
Also, the following statement does not make sense
"when you browse to the VirtualDir it is resolved as it should but when
called from telnet it omits the master directory name and tries to go to
wwwroot/virtdir/.... ratherthan wwwroot/www.myserver.com/virtdir/..."
I have no idea what you mean by "master directory name", nor what exact
request you sent to "browse to the VirtualDir", nor what is your exact
URL-to-PhysicalPath mapping for the URL requests in question. If you don't
give this info, the whole statement cannot be understood.
i.e.
"browse to the VirtualDir in Telnet":
GET /VirtualDir/ HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.myserver.com" target="_blank">www.myserver.com</a>\r\n
\r\n
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.myserver.com" target="_blank">www.myserver.com</a> maps to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\www.myserver.com
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\www.myserver.com\VirtDir is a physical directory
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.myserver.com/VirtualDir" target="_blank">www.myserver.com/VirtualDir</a> is a vdir mapping to ???
Finally, I hope you have Web Service Extensions corresponding to .JSP and
..PHP since they will return 404.2 otherwise.
There is one thing I can think of with other clients calling into web
services and getting failures, and that is if they send their requests with
\n line-termination -- that is rejected by IIS because it is improper
HTTP -- occassionally, some bad clients will send the request line with \r\n
but the headers with \n (also invalid per HTTP spec), with the end result
that IIS doesn't see a valid host header and hence believe it to be 400 Bad
Request. To diagnose this, you will need a NetMon network trace.
To be certain, I do not believe there is a security issue nor a problem with
Telnet and down-level clients. When we are talking about 400 and 404,
giving us the right entries in the log files which reflect the 400 and 404
quickly resolves the issue.

Ken,
The only info in the logs is 400 - BadRequest.
However I have had a bit of a break-through - perhaps you can help with the
solution?
I have found that the Directory mappings are causing the problems..Let me
try to explain:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.myserver.com" target="_blank">www.myserver.com</a> is configured as a Website, and is configured as
application
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.myserver.com/VirtualDir/" target="_blank">www.myserver.com/VirtualDir/</a> is a subdirectory, (no mappings taking place,
just a standard subdirectory)
when you browse to the VirtualDir it is resolved as it should but when
called from telnet it omits the master directory name and tries to go to
wwwroot/virtdir/.... ratherthan wwwroot/www.myserver.com/virtdir/...
I hope this makes sense!!
Thanks again
Ed
