can't check Alfresco Share main page with libcurl or wget?

[jamied66]

My monitoring system includes the ability to check dynamic web pages, mimicing various user agents and browsers. The Share login (~/share/page/site-index) page renders fine in a browser on my Mac, returning a 200OK http code.  but if I try to pull the same page via the command-line, I get a 500 Error code returned.

Is this a known condition? Is there a known workaround?

Thanks,

I think it might be a Spring limitation - try passing in the charset and language headers, i.e.

–header "Accept-Charset:ISO-8859-1,utf-8" –header "Accept-Language:en"‍

Thanks,
