vbscript - msxml3.dll Access Denied

Question

I have the following code:

Function filejson(json) 
  Dim objStream, strData 
  Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") 
  objStream.CharSet = "utf-8" 
  objStream.Open 
  objStream.LoadFromFile(json) 
  strData = objStream.ReadText() 
  filejson = strData 
End Function 
Function http2json(url) 
  Set http = CreateObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp") 
  http.open "GET", url, FALSE
  http.send ""                                   '<------- Line 13
  http2json=http.responseText 
End Function 
Function str2json(json,value) 
  Set scriptControl = CreateObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl") 
  scriptControl.Language = "JScript" 
  scriptControl.AddCode("x="& json & ";") 
  str2json= scriptControl.Eval( "x"& value ) 
End Function 
Function get_json_from_file(json,value) 
  get_json_from_file=str2json(filejson(json),value) 
End Function 
Function get_json_from_http(url,value) 
  get_json_from_http=str2json(http2json(url),value) 
End Function 
Function save_json_from_http(url,loc) 
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
  fullpath = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(loc) 
  Dim objStream, strData 
  Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") 
  objStream.CharSet = "utf-8" 
  objStream.Open 
  objStream.WriteText http2json(url) 
  objStream.SaveToFile fullpath, 2 
  save_json_from_http=fullpath 
End Function
Wscript.Echo save_json_from_http("http://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication/session/new?api_key=#####some_api_key_example#####&request_token=#####some_default_request_token######&_ctime_json_=1372670635.164760555","tmdbemp\_tmdb_sock_w.164519518.2109")

When I run this code, I get the following error.

If I remove &request_token=#####some_default_request_token###### it works just fine.

I also tried this: I added again the request_token, and I just typed a random character in it, for example, rexfuest_token, and strangely it worked. It seems there's a wrong parse in msxml3.dll. with request_token word.

Ideas?

This problem could be related to the security issues in Windows. The best way to fix it is to replace Microsoft.XmlHttp/MSXML2.XMLHTTP with MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.

I see the topic is almost 2 years old and most likely the topic starter has solved is issue. I have experienced the same issue couple hours ago and google provided me several links. There are some of them:
