MF_E_NET_BAD_REQUEST

MF_E_NET_BAD_REQUEST means the server rejected the request as invalid. The URL, query parameters, request headers, control message, or requested publishing point may be malformed.

What to check for MF_E_NET_BAD_REQUEST

  • Compare the request URL and headers with a known-good player request.
  • Check URL encoding, path mapping, and any proxy rewrite rules.
  • Review server logs for the specific parsing or validation failure.

Diagnostic interpretation

This result has the HRESULT value 0xC00D427F. AllStat records the condition as “The request could not be understood by the server.%0”.

Evidence to capture

  • Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the mf / net / request operation.
  • Preserve the first failure in the call chain; a later HRESULT can describe cleanup rather than the original mf / net / request condition.
