He's trying to download PDFs from a City of Philadelphia website. The URL is 
http://philadox.phila.gov/picris/servlet/ecs.servlet.DocServer. To get there, 
though, you have to have a username and password. I went there (using his 
credentials) and tried to download a PDF. I got the same error.

I did the Netmon capture, as per your instructions. Below is the traffic 
between my computer and the remote server. Let me know what you see and if you 
need something more (like maybe the whole Netmon capture file, or this 
conversation in an Excel file, or anything else).

You should install Netmon 3.4 on the TMG and run it from an elevated cmd window 
using the following command:

md c:\NetmonCaps
nmcap /capture /network * /file c:\NetmonCaps\Capture.chn:100M

..before he runs the process to failure.
This way, you'll be able to see the internal and external conversations as they 
happen.

Wireshark can't do that...

OK, let me try to get the series of steps from the user. I just watched the 
console while he went through a series of clicks from his computer (remote to 
me) to get to the object he wanted to download. Once I have that, I'll post 
back.

Thanks,
Rob

"87" is the result-code and it means something about the request or response 
failed to process correctly.
You have to identify "what it is" first.
What is the web site URL?

Using TMG Standard. Not caching, not using Firewall Client.

I have a user trying to download a form from a City of Philadelphia website. It 
worked before we upgraded from ISA to TMG. Now when he tries to download the 
form, it fails. When I monitor his activity, I don't get a Result Code when it 
fails. All I get is an Action of "Failed Connection Attempt" and an HTTP Status 
Code of "87 The parameter is incorrect."

What's going on? How can I work around this?

Thanks,
Rob
