CAUSE:

The problem seems related to the Web Server denying the request because the OCX is not sending the host information. Typically, when a client sents a request on the internet through the browser, the webserver stops the client to ask for HOST information from the client. When a webspeed URL is entered on a browser, there is no problem, since the browser is able to handle the webserver's request and pass the correct HOST information.

However, when information is sent through the Appbuilder, the OCX we use (CIHTTP from Crescent) does not send the HOST information. So when the request reaches the webserver, the webserver asks for the HOST info and the client can not provide the information, thus causing the webserver to revoke the request and causing the error.

FIX:

Remove 'Host Header Name' property in the web site configuration.

By removing this property, the webserver will not ask for HOST information and the client will be able to complete the request without having to deal with the webserver's request.
