Strange Web Service error

Whats the HTTP Status code?

I am willing to lay down a bet that that is a 500 Error (or one in the 5xx range) and the server is set to display "friendly" error messages. The server cocked up and gave you HTML instead of XML.

I see that often. Coincidentally, I cry often.

Yes, the web service is sending back the error in html. It's probably intended for the website to just display as is.

What happens if you try it in Chrome?

This window is a popup I get from the C# application itself when I try and post to the web service. Something wrong with the web service itself maybe?

Cool thanks. Grr going to have to contact them and see what's going on. I'm flying blind here with "friendly" messages.
 
Had this response once too. It was indeed a "friendly" error in HTML from the web service, instead of XML. Turned out to be server side related.
 
Why not dump the error out to a text file so you can actually see what the server is complaining about?
