HTTP_E_STATUS_AMBIGUOUS

HTTP_E_STATUS_AMBIGUOUS maps to HTTP 300 Multiple Choices. It indicates that the target resource has more than one representation or action available and the response may describe alternatives.

What to check for HTTP_E_STATUS_AMBIGUOUS

  • Inspect the response body and headers for the alternatives supplied by the service.
  • Check content negotiation inputs such as Accept, Accept-Language, or application-specific selection parameters.
  • When the endpoint is API-only, confirm that the server is not returning an interactive representation-selection page unexpectedly.
