Google Maps Works on Localhost, Fails in IIS - asp.net

Question

I have a google map application that runs perfectly fine on local host. When I publish the application on IIS, the google api key v2 returns a 404 error.
I do not have google key, I am running without a key on a .net 4.0 Framework. Is the error because of a setting in IIS or I would need a key to query google REST API.
Below is an excerpt of my code -
private string GetLatitudeLongitudeFromAddress(string url)
{
string latitudeLongitude = string.Empty;
WriteToFile(path, "Entering GetLatitudeLongitudeFromAddress - url in parameter = "+url);
try
{
WebResponse response = null;
bool is_geocoded = true;
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "GET";
//WriteToFile(path, "request response = " + request.GetResponse().ToString());
response = request.GetResponse();
WriteToFile(path, "response returned = "+response.ToString());
string lat = "";
string lng = "";
string loc_type = "";
if (response != null)
{
XPathDocument document = new XPathDocument(response.GetResponseStream());
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();
// get response status
XPathNodeIterator statusIterator = navigator.Select("/GeocodeResponse/status");
while (statusIterator.MoveNext())
{
if (statusIterator.Current.Value != "OK")
{
is_geocoded = false;
}
}
// get results
if (is_geocoded)
{
XPathNodeIterator resultIterator = navigator.Select("/GeocodeResponse/result");
while (resultIterator.MoveNext())
{
XPathNodeIterator geometryIterator = resultIterator.Current.Select("geometry");
while (geometryIterator.MoveNext())
{
XPathNodeIterator locationIterator = geometryIterator.Current.Select("location");
while (locationIterator.MoveNext())
{
XPathNodeIterator latIterator = locationIterator.Current.Select("lat");
while (latIterator.MoveNext())
{
lat = latIterator.Current.Value;
//Console.WriteLine("Latitude value = {0}", lat);
latitudeLongitude = lat;
}
XPathNodeIterator lngIterator = locationIterator.Current.Select("lng");
while (lngIterator.MoveNext())
{
lng = lngIterator.Current.Value;
//Console.WriteLine("Longitude value = {0}", lng);
latitudeLongitude = latitudeLongitude + "#" + lng;
}
XPathNodeIterator locationTypeIterator = geometryIterator.Current.Select("location_type");
while (locationTypeIterator.MoveNext())
{
loc_type = locationTypeIterator.Current.Value;
}
}
}
}
//Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error in Calculating Coordinates Address - {0}", ex.Message + "GetLatitudeLongitudeFromAddress");
}
WriteToFile(path, "Exiting GetLatitudeLongitudeFromAddress - value returned = "+ latitudeLongitude);
return latitudeLongitude;
}

developer license is not guaranteed to have high availability, so maybe that's the reason of why you're getting 404's.
