I'm accessing a server running on another machine on the local network
(if it matters, both are VMs, but with different hosts).
The server is running Centos 6.6. IIRC, leaving the port (":7070" out
the URL caused a crash, presumably because the default HTTP port was
refusing a connenction.

Currently, I am using

https://10.3.171.27:7070/requests

which reaches the server, but it 400's the request. The server's logs show

2015-10-22 14:09:55,339 WARN badMessage: 400 Illegal character for
HttpChannelOverHttp_at_46f1278a{r=0,a=IDLE,uri=-}

in the application log, and

10.3.171.45 - - [22/Oct/2015:20:43:03 +0000] "POST /request
HTTP/1.1" 400 - 107

in the access log.
(dot-45 is the system with the client, where the segfault occurs).

Note that http://10.3.171.27:7070/requests does not segfault when it
gets a 401 error.

(but the 401 doesn't the return status non-zero)

Thanks.
