Bad http result code: 403

I just created a feed that validates.
Testing in iTunes works.
When I submit to iTunes I get this error. I can't for the life of me figure this out! Any ideas?
We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 403
Here is the URL: http://saltandlighttv.org/radio/podcast/sl_hour_new.xml
Thanks.

The feed seems to be OK - it can be subscribed to manually in iTunes and works fine there.
The 403 error means 'Access forbidden': one way of getting this is trying to access a directory (ending a URL with a slash) when there is no index.html file present, so if for example you had accidentally added a slash to the end of the URL when submitting it that would probably be the result.
If you are sure that you submitted the URL correctly it's difficult to see what the problem is. Sometimes servers don't react properly to a request from the iTunes Store when requests from the iTunes application and other rss readers work fine. You would need to take this up with the people running your server. Possibly they have a log which will show what happened.

HT1819 Bad http result code: 403

I've done everything up to this point: validate XML, manually subscribe through iTunes.
I'm at Submit Podcast to iTunes Directory
1. Podcast feed URL: http://www.thelambschapel.org/TLC_AudioPodcast.xml.
I get: Bad http result code: 403
The file permissions are 655. How can I get beyond this? Thx.
p.s. the only reason I am submitting the podcast is because our podcast of 3+ years dropped off the directory, so I'm trying to make the name slightly different in order to get it listed on the directory again. I changed the name of the XML file, and inside the file, I changed the <title>. The URL stays the same.

Bad HTTP result Code: 404

I'm trying to submit a podcast to iTunes. Every time I try and submit my xml feed, I get the bad http result code: 404. However, the xml feed validates AND I can manually subscribe to it in itunes (File - Subscribe to Podcast). Any ideas as to why I get the bad http result code error?

Sorry all ... here is the feed: http://www.tullfinancial.com/managingTheWithdrawlPhase.xml
Thanks!

Bad http result code: 500

trying to upload my podcast feed url for submission tothe itunes directory and i keep getting the following message
we had difficuluty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 500
here is the url
itpc://rss.mac.com/cjonesva/iWeb/wow/WOWPod/rss.xml
I'm a bit at a loss

When you submitted your URL, did you submit http://rss.mac.com/cjonesva/iWeb/wow/WOWPod/rss.xml? This is the URL to your feed - the itpc://rss.mac.com/cjonesva/iWeb/wow/WOWPod/rss.xml URL is for giving people a one-click link that will subscribe them to your feed in iTunes.

Bad http result code: 405

Hi, we're trying to submit our feed (http://www.flalottery.com/video/en/flalottery_itune.xml) to iTunes for inclusion however we get the error back from iTunes on Step 1 saying "We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 405"
We've checked the feed itself in the Feed Validator to make sure it's compliant, which it is. So I'm not sure why we're getting this code.
But if we do searches for an "http 405 error" we see it relates to methods/resources not being allowed. But I can't find any info on which methods iTunes needs? We have enabled "get, head, post, trace and options". Currently disabled are "connect, put, delete". Do one of these need to be enabled as well? Obviously we're concerned with security issues if we enable one of the disabled 3.
Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Scott

Your feed can be subscribed to manually in iTunes (from the 'File' menu) and looks OK. However, it requires a secure connection (https) and it may be this which is upsetting the Store (which is a different connection from using the iTunes application to subscribe). You are hosting your feed on Dropbox: I would strongly recommend not doing this: Dropbox is designed for sharing, not website hosting, and is liable to cause you problems. You should use an ordinary web hosting service.
You should also ensure that the server hosting the media files can handle 'byte-range requests' (Dropbox appears not to) - this is where only part of the file is requested at a time and is necessary for iOS devices. If the server cannot handle it your podcast will be rejected, so you need to check with any proposed hosting service before committing yourself. If they don't do it, or don't know what it is, go somewhere else.
Your episode appears to consist of a very short technical test. The Store won't accept this: you need to have at least one real episode so that they can assess the sort of content you are going to provide.

Bad http result code 501 when submitting a validated feed to iTunes

I have a podcast feed that I've validated at http://validator.w3.org as well as http://www.feedvalidator.org. Both tests say that my feed is valid. When I try to submit the feed URL to iTunes, I get the response: "We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 501". Any suggestions as to what I'm missing?

Although your feed validates, and can be accessed in a browser and subscribed to in iTunes - and also the media files are correctly hosted on a server which can handle byte-range requests (a required facility) - the server hosting your feed is for some reason unable to handle requests specifically from the iTunes Store. This situation has arisen before but no obvious solution has been suggested (one poster with a similar problem found that it was a permissions issue on the server). This is something you will need to take up with the people running your server - their logs may possibly give some indication of what the problem is.

We difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 404

Everytime I try to submit my podcast (http://hometown.aol.com/Cyberhtmlguy/cartoonpodcast3.xml) I get the error message above. Feedvalidator says it's ok. What's wrong with it?

Two possible things.
1) It might not like the "+" signs in your url.
2) The iTunes folks might think that your feed contains copyrighted content and are rejecting it.

Submit of Podcast feed not working: "Bad http result 404"

I am trying to submit my .xml file to the "Submit
Podcasts to the iTunes Directory" and it keep sgiving me the error:
We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 404"
Can anyone tell me what the error is? It does nothing to explain this. I've tried using an xml template for itunes that supposed to work but nothing. It works fine using iPodder.
Here's the link:
http://cmi.yale.edu/podcasts/rss/test5.xml
Thanks much for the help!

Right, I know how the 404 mean error not found but i checked and double checked the URLs and they all seem fine to me as well. I can understand what iTunes is not liking about the feed. I've updated the feed with a new .xml:
http://cmi.yale.edu/podcasts/rss/cmi.xml - still getting the 404. Do you see anything wrong with the URLs?
Thanks much!

Hi,
Check this
Error: HTTP 403 Forbidden
Description: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it
Possible Tips:
Path sap/xi/engine not active
HTTP 403 during cache refresh of the adapter framework - Refer SAP Note -751856
Because of Inactive Services in ICF Go to SICF transaction and activate the services. Refer SAP Note -517484
Error in RWB/Message Monitoring- because of J2EE roles Refer SAP Note -796726
Error in SOAP Adapter - "403 Forbidden" from the adapter's servlet. Because of the URL is incorrect or the adapter is not correctly deployed.

System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden)

Hi,
After upgrading PI 7.1 (with local SLD) Stack06 -> Stack09 we have the following error in the runtime workbench. It seems that the connection
between PI and SLD is not working:
1) error in RWB -
Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden)
2) another error:
8 Message(s) : SLD agent unable to specify domain - Error class com.sap.aii.rwb.exceptions.BuildLandscapeException: Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden) - Attempt to create JCo connection object failed for domain domain.00.hfasapxi1 - Integration Server unable to specify a JCo client - No component names available from Integration Server - SLD agent unable to specify domain - Error class com.sap.aii.rwb.exceptions.BuildLandscapeException: Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden) - Attempt to create JCo connection object failed for domain domain.00.hfasapxi1
3) in the sld:
INFO com.sap.sld.api.builder.app.DefineHostedSystem: Communication exception in SLD ping (HTTP 403 = FORBIDDEN): http://hfasapxi1:50000/sld/cimom, namespace sld/active.
sldcheck is working and the users are not locked or not valid. All seems to be ok but I still get these errors.
Any idea ?

Hi Venu,
thanks for the answer but it seems to be something else. After searching for that problem I also ran the configuration wizard->PI self registration. This activity registers all the component of the PI, unfortunately it only registered the "integration server" part without the Adapter engine, domain, RWB and etc.
Also, when I trigger the registration of the adapter engine I get the following error in the default trace:
The AdatperEngine has not been registered with the SLD due to: com.sap.aii.af.lib.sld.SLDException: Could not register AdapterFramework to SLD. Reason: Self-registration of instance af.xid.hfasapxi1 of class SAP_XIAdapterFramework failed
the reason is unknown ... any idea ?

HTTP response code 403 (forbidden)

Hi, my name is Sebastiano and I'm a student.
I'm developping a Server-Client application for Web in 100% Java.
My application comunicates with a browser (Explorer) through a socket to satisfy http request.
So my application is between the browser and the web (like a proxy).
My application create an HttpUrlConnection with the URL contained in the http request getting from the browser, receive the response (the content of the url requested) from this URL and after doing some task with it, send it to browser as response.
However some site (in particular www.google.com when my application send to it a query of research) gives to my application http response code 403 (forbidden) raising an "java.io.IOException: Server returned http response code: 403 for URL ...".
There is someone who can help me ... may questions are:
Why my application get this respone code?
There is something to set in HttpUrlConnection to avoid this response?
How can I avoid this response?
Thank you very much for yuor reply,
Sebastiano.

Lync 2013 Clients in Child Domain Log "The server returned HTTP status code '403 (0x193)' with text 'Forbidden'."

Hey All, I am really stumped on this one.
Environment - Is using split DNS
Forest Root Domain - Contains new Lync 2013 Server Standard, ADDS, DNS, Enterprise CA, Workstations
Clients in this domain connect and work beautifully. No errors.
Child Domain - ADDS, DNS, Workstation, Lync 2013 client
Client autodiscovers, and then asks for a password. Enter the password and this comes up...
Can't sign in to Lync, You didnt get signed in, It might be your sign-in address or logon credentials.. blah blah blah"
Client log shows
Error:
There was an error communicating with the endpoint at 'https://domainlync13srv.Domain.net/WebTicket/WebTicketService.svc'.
The server returned HTTP status code '403 (0x193)' with text 'Forbidden'.
The server understood the request, but cannot fulfill it.
As far as i can tell certificates are correctly configured with all the SAN's possible in my forest. The user is correctly set up in Lync control panel. Autodiscovery seems to be working as it should. EWS is working correctly.
Repaired client, removed cached creds, has all lync 2013 updates no dice
Thank you all!

I am an IDIOT.
I did not prepare the child domain with the LYNC setup tool. Logged on to a file server in the child domain with domain admin rights and sure enough the setup said the domain was "partial". Ran the setup and bam it all started working.

AutoVue applet return HTTP response code: 403 for URL with chinese characte

Dear All,
When i integrate with AutoVue Server 19.3 Using AutoVue applet into my web application it returns the following exception
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://.....
when the file name have chinese characte,but when the file name have no chinese characte and all the normal
Anyone can help?
Best Regards

There are many possible causes of a 403 error. Is this error happening when launching the applet, or does the applet launch properly and the error comes up when loading the file? How do you have AutoVue integrated to your web application? Is it integrated using the AutoVue ISDK? Or are you passing filenames into the applet in a different way? Can you clarify again, does the error only occur when the user tries to open a Chinese filename?
Also, please note that AutoVue version 19.3 is no longer under Oracle Premier Support. If possible you should upgrade to the latest version of AutoVue, especially if you end up needing to log a Service Request to Oracle.
