HTTP seems broken in PlayBasic Trial

[owis]

Hi,

Trying to test out playbasic and the first thing I try HTTP is broken...

I run the HTTP example...it tries to hit the Underware website and it communicates with the server, but the server sends back a BAD REQUEST error.

400 Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of Request Header field exceeds server limit.
Then it displays the Apache Server version that Underware.com is using.

If I try any of my webserver pages that are hosted on IIS6 I just get BLANK results or NO Page returned...The GetHttpDataAsString() function returns an empty string and intertestingly I do not see any request in the WEBLOG from the server so it just plain is not Connecting...Could this be a limitation of the TRIAL VERSION?

It seems there is an error with the HTTP module. Any help?

Is this the same version of HTTP that is in DarkBasic?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

works fine here.  Are you using a firewall ?

Works fine here too and I am using a firewall.

Strange...Tried it at home on a very Similar machine and it works fine.

Running Windows 2000 Server on both although the machine at work was just installed with all the latest patches...

So it must be something with my machine.....

The Bad request thing is odd...

The versions of Wininet DLL are different....
At Work (doesn't work) - 572K - 8/29/2002
At Home (Works) - 562K - 6/17/2005

Strange I patched up and have an older version...
Will investigate more...any other help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

No firewalls...

Well... I thought I was all patched up but wasn't...So I finished all the windowsupdate patching..and it updated my WININET.DLL to match my machine at home.  BUT It still doesn't work.

I installed Playbasic on a another machine at the office (Also WIN2K server) and it works fine.  But my development machine just seems to alter/corrupt the request somehow ..I will try to find a way to look at the request.

I uninstalled and re-installed - same problem.

I have tried to hit various sites with it.

Google.com responds with Bad Request...Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request

Most others just do not return anything...and they take longer to respond..like the request is timing out...so far ALL IIS sites I hit respond this way.
