It has something to do with security settings. Probably you're accessing
your localhost webapp with other credentials than the request to the url
above.

The url mentioned will be accessed with ASPNET (WinXP) user or the
NETWORK SERVICE (Win2003). So check your rights or provide a
username/pass in your code.
