I have a legacy app written in VB6 and uses the IEFrame.dll that recently broke due to a server change. I'm trying to debug why it broke, but I can't get it to work on my local machine. On my local machine the URL is like: 

http://localhost:4200/landing

If I navigate to http://localhost:4200 the page loads, but if I try and navigate to http://localhost:4200/landing I get a 404. If I try that same URL in FF or Chrome it works as expected.

So is there a way to get the WebBrowser control from IEFrame.dll to work when the port is in the middle of the URL?

This is basically what the VB code looks like:

Dim url As String
url = "http://localhost:4200/landing"
wb.Navigate2 url 'This works if there is no port specified

"Landing" is an Angular route. I'm new to Angular and didn't actually write this particular server code so I can't say for sure if there is a redirect or not.

    Is there a redirect happening? – dbmitch May 31 '18 at 14:09

    Do you get same result using `Navigate2` method? – dbmitch May 31 '18 at 14:25
  • Thanks @Jeff - it's always good to send a targeted comment when question is updated - I have no way of knowing otherwise. So you're saying landing is javascript - does `"http://localhost:4200"' auto redirect to your landing page - or stay there in main folder? – dbmitch May 31 '18 at 19:23
  • @dbmitch, it actually goes to the default route and works as expected. – Jeff May 31 '18 at 19:25
  • This is localhost and you don't have access to the server code? – dbmitch May 31 '18 at 19:32
