The message may not be delivered when you use the HTTP protocol to send a message to a server that is running Message Queuing 3.0 (916699)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the HTTP protocol to send a message to a server that is running Microsoft Message Queuing 3.0, the message may not be delivered. When this problem occurs, the message will remain in the sending computer's queue and will eventually time-out. However, you will not receive an error message.

When this problem occurs, entries that resemble the following may be logged in the Message Queuing log: [1]588.974 02/13/2006-15:18:54.380 [mqise GetNetBiosNameFromIPAddr] ERROR:Failed to get the NetBios name from the DNS name, error = 0xea

[1]588.974 02/13/2006-15:18:54.380 [mqise RPCToServer] ERROR:RPC call R_ProcessHTTPRequest failed, error code = 1702(RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING)

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the Message Queuing ISAPI extension (Mqise.dll) tries to bind to the local Message Queuing service after the Message Queuing ISAPI extension receives a POST request that contains a Message Queuing message. The Message Queuing ISAPI extension cannot bind to the Message Queuing service when the server name is exactly 15 characters long. RPC exception 0x6a6 (RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING) occurs in the W3wp.exe process. However, the exception is handled. Therefore, you do not receive an error message.

Message Queuing resolves the server name by using the DNS host name. The Message Queuing ISAPI extension cannot bind to the Message Queuing service because the buffer that Message Queuing uses to resolve the server name is too small.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, rename the server that is running Microsoft Message Queuing 3.0. Use a name that contains less than 15 characters.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Rename the server that is running Message Queuing 3.0. Use a name that contains 15 characters.
  2. Restart the server.
  3. Install Message Queuing together with HTTP protocol support.
  4. Attach a debugger to the W3wp.exe process on the server. Have the debugger look for the following exception:
    (588.974): Unknown exception - code 000006a6
  5. Use the mqsender command to send a message from a remote computer that has Message Queuing. For example, use the following command:

    mqsender /f:direct=http://computername/msmq/private$/test /c:
