Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. After reading the Http spec 
I have to agree with you that the Http is invalid. A point could be made that 
the spec should be followed exactly when sending and be more forgiving when 
receiving, but that is another issue.  I have passed the information you 
provided to Software AG, who is now looking into making changes to correct the 
Http on their end (in Natural).  Thanks again!
