URL test fails - HTTP error 500

[greyhat64]

I have a webpage which in some remote locations is accessed via active RMA. For that reason I'm using the URL test method (redirect allowed - it does redirect). It fails with an HTTP Error 500 - The same URL works from IE or FireFox.
Your thoughts. . . I suspect it is redirection related. The example below is accessed directly, no RMA necessary, to rule out RMA issues:

Code: Select all

Method      = Url
;--- Common properties ---
;DestFolder = Test\
Title       = TEST: http://10.168.1.12:80/AdvancedRerports
Comment     = 
RelatedURL  =

HTTP code 500 means "internal server error". I do not think its related to "redirection"
Why IE does not show this error? Sorry, I do not have any idea
May be server cannot process correctly some flags used by HostMonitor? E.g. HostMonitor always uses "no-cache" flag.
Typical request from HostMonitor looks like
GET /AdvancedRerports HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)
Host: 10.168.1.12:80
Cache-Control: no-cache
Could you use some network packet analyzer (sniffer) to check what exactly information is returned by the server?
