Resolution

 

At first glance, each of them is known issue.

  1. There might be a problem with the keys (1). It can also be caused by a request in http 1.0 (2).
  2. The incoming request URL has a character included in BadUrlChars or BadQueryChars (3)(4)(5)(6).
  3. This will happen if the requested URL is larger than the default value of ACO MaxUrlSize (7).
  4. This is related to a DNS problem. Maybe the request set the IP address instead of the FQDN (8)(9)?
  5. This error happens when the Web Agent doesn't receive the expected data from Apache (10)(11)(12).
