Connecting to BIP IP and testing

First thing: have you tested out any of the included sample C applications in the SDK? I'd try to compile them first to make sure that connection to your BIG-IP and authentication is correct.

 

 

Now, looking at your code, your issue is most likely the formation of your url:

 

 

sPort = "80";
string sProtocol = "https";
if ( sPort.Equals("80") || sPort.Equals("8080") )
{
sProtocol = "http";
}
Url = sProtocol + "://" + tb_hostname.Text + ":" + sPort + "/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi";

 

 

The BIG-IP by default does not have unencrypted traffic enabled. All management connections are performed over the SSL port 443. If you change the hardcoded "sPort" to 443, you should be set.

 

 

What's odd is that you shouldn't be getting a 404 error for this though...

 

 

Change the connection to be encrypted and see if that fixes your issue.

 

 

I'll try to compile the code when I get into the office in the morning and see if anything else pops out at me.
