Error Message: Error 406, No Acceptable Objects Were Found
This article was previously published under Q251215
When you use the Accept-Language header and the file name specified does not include the file extension, the following error message occurs:
Error 406, No acceptable objects were found.
Because no other "Accept:" headers are specified, the Web server determines that the client can only handle text/plain and text/html content types. Because the document has no extension, the type is octet/stream, which causes the error message to be returned. This is by design.
Include the file extension in the request, so that the content type can be determined.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
The following portion of code causes the Error 406:
hHandle = HttpOpenRequest(hInetConnect, "GET", "/document");
HttpAddRequestHeaders(hHandle "Accept-Language:en-us\r\n");
HttpSendRequest (hHandle);
InternetReadFile (hHandle, lpBuffer);
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Active Server Pages 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0
- Microsoft Windows Internet Services (WinInet)

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
