 That is an error message from the client which is concealing
the real problem - for some reason the server is sending back
a plain HTML error message. Probably your request did not 
go all the way through to messagerouter.

 Use the tcptunnel or similar utility that lets you
see the exact text of the request and response.
I have written a utility "UtilSnoop" that will do this - see:
