Re: Testing GET, PUT, POST and DELETE HTTP methods using IIS

If 200 status is being logged by IIS, then IIS thinks that the content is
being served correctly. So you may have a network issue, or you may have a
client-side issue.

a) You say that you don't see the content on the device. What do you see?

b) If you get a network packet capture (e.g. using Wireshark), what do you
see tranmitted on the network?

Cheers
