Getting Data In

c# sdk not working on Windows server

Hi,

I'm using the Splunk SDK (C#) to run searches against our Splunk Server.

The code I have is from the examples, nothing fancy.
It works fine on my Windows 7 machine. I run the search, I get the results, all is good.

But when I deploy on a Windows 2008 Server, it simply refuses to run.
I get the following exception: "The request was aborted: The request was canceled."

Using the .Net trace feature, the last thing I see in the logs is: "This is to override browser formatting; see server.conf[httpServer] to disable" (more log dump at the end of this post)

To me, it seems that this is what is killing my search. That there's something in the response that Windows Server doesn't like. But that's a bit of a guess.

I've tried a few things, but no matter, it will not run on Windows Server.
Any idea or pointers welcome because I'm running out of things to try here ...

Thanks for reading.

It turns out, it has nothing to do with Windows Server.
My problem is the same as this one: http://answers.splunk.com/answers/102567/c-sdk-builds-the-connection-was-closed-unexpectedly
