IdHTTP Get Problem Behind a Firewall or Norton Antivirus

WE have an application using TIdHTTP component and requesting data from an
ASP web page using GET method.
As an example:
idHTTP.Get('xx.com/abc.asp )
When norton internet security /or firewall is on, idHTTP Sends request to
webpage, webpage can take the information (we can see the results on
web-side)
but idHTTP cannot Get the result from webpage and SocketError Exception
occurs on idHTTP.
But the norton internet security is off everything goes fine.
How can handle this norton internet security/firewall problem without
disabling firewall/norton????
Thanks,

You will just have to figure out why Norton is deciding to block the data to
begin with. It is very unusul for it to allow the request to pass through
to the server but not the other way around. Unless the server is returning
data that Norton thinks is harmful.
