Re: "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" error from HTTPAPIR4

This isn't an SSL problem, not related to certificates.

You sent a URL that the server says you don't have access to. ("Access
forbidden" or just "Forbidden")

An app using HTTPAPIR4 runs without issue on multiple systems, including

However, it's not working with a new customer's existing system--I get

the

dreaded "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" returned from HTTPAPIR4. This Canadian
customer does not have other SOAP or REST apps running and they're very
security-conscious, so I suspect they've blocked themselves from getting
into the internet for port 80/443 calls.

Their system may not have a certificate--is the problem that simple?

And I told them this would be an easy install...thank you for your help!
