INET_E_REDIRECT_TO_DIR

INET_E_REDIRECT_TO_DIR is a URL Moniker HRESULT. It means that the URL Moniker operation expected a file-like resource but reached a directory or directory-style target. The server, path construction or relative URL resolution may be directing the operation to the wrong resource type.

What to check

Verify the final resolved URL and whether the operation expects a file, a directory listing or a default document.
Correct server redirects, trailing-slash rules and path construction for the intended resource.
Do not assume that a redirected directory response can be processed as the expected file content.
