HTTP 400 Bad Request ?

Jerry

I get a HTTP 400 Bad Request error when accessing the wireless access point
web based interface. This does not happen if I use Firefox and it was not
happening with IE before, either.

Anyone knows why is this happening now?

Dave

I have the same issue with a Netgear MR314 wireless router being used in
conjunction with IE7. Everything works OK with IE 6.

If I attempt to open the default page HTTP://<ip addr> in the browser window
it fails to open the page, BUT I can manage to fool the system (Windows XP
SP4) to open the initial page by opening HTTP://<ip addr> from the Start->Run
window. [Once I've got the initial router admin page open, I cannot navigate
to any other page.]

Ideas welcome as I can navigate to every other site OK.

Looks like it could be a User-Agent problem.
Try using the User-Agent spoofing utility. (Ref. KB923196)
Alternatively you could use Fiddler2 which has a tool to change
the User-Agent in requests. Note, however, that that would not change
the registry value from MSIE 7.0; so if there was also a problem in a site's
scripts you would still need to use the utility.


BTW (try a web search? <w>) Netgear apparently host a web forum
where this has been discussed. Test the last suggestion in this thread
and report back for us?

In the IE7 you have "enable native handling of XMLHTTP" under tools,
internet options, advanced, security. You must disable this.
