Well I've almost got to the bottom of the problem....The IIS Lockdown
utitlity had been run on the server (which I was not made aware of) and
there were two things preventing my app from working correctly.
Firstly the UrlScan utitlity was preventing the request from getting
through, hence the 404 Not Found error. Exactly what changes I need to make
to the UrlScan INI file I'm not yet sure, but at least I know the root of
the problem lies there.
Secondly, WebDAV had been disabled. This wasn't the cause of the 404 Not
Found error, but still needed enabling anyway. With this disabled (and
UrlScan not running at all) I got a 501 Not Implemented error.
So thanks to Ken pointing me in theright direction, WebDAV is now enabled.
All I have to do now is figure out the changes to UrlScan
Cheers,
Cameron
