How to Fix Error 417 Expectation Failed

There are 3 methods you can apply to get Error 417 fixed.

Method 2: Add a Script Task before you call the API

If you don’t use XML format, but Error 417 is still present on your website, then add a Script Task before you call any API. To do so, open SSIS Script Task and edit it. Then, add the following line in the Main method: System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; Then, try to reload the requested online resource.

 

Method 3: Contact Your Hosting Provider

If none of the previous methods can help you fix Error 417, then contact your hosting provider. Explain the situation thoroughly and how you tried to fix the error message. Your hosting provider’s tech support team should take care of your case and get your website fixed.
