Error from VB excel macro code - msxml3.dll -2146697211 The system cannot locate the resource specified

Question

I am using an MSXML.HTTPRequest object in a VB macro (excel) to communicate with an HTTP server. The problem is that it throws the following error intermittentl

Answer 1

For now I was able to solve this by changing the method from GET to POST. The error was intermittent but fortunately it started showing up on my dev machine once, and changing the HTTP method to POST did the trick. It's very odd that should happen though, but it worked.
