ASP.NET WebAPI Response 404

Question

Hi all,

I created an Azure WebSite and uploaded an ASP.NET WebAPI application. Then I developed a WP8 app that calls one of the API of that web application and sometimes (not always) I receive this error "Response status code does not indicate success: 404"

How can I investigate the reason of the status 404 inside Windows Azure? I'm using the free version of Azure WebSite.

Thanks,
eo

Check your IIS logs to see what the sub-status code is. That will help you to determine what the cause is.

Hi Jim,

I checked the IIS logs but I found only the data regarding the requests with status code 200.

Is it possible to register also the requests with status code 404 and 403?

Thanks

Answer 4

IIS logs will have every request processed by the server. How are you reviewing these logs?
