    Per K10280, ASM's default behavior with respect to HTTP protocol compliance is to flag an HTTP request as bad if it is not using HTTP version 1.0 or higher. By default, the BIG-IP system uses HTTP 0.9 when sending monitor requests. By specifying the HTTP version in the Send String of the monitor, you can force the system to send an HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 request. See K2167 for help with constructing HTTP requests for use with the HTTP or HTTPS health monitor.
