Hi Brian -

 

 

It sounds like LTM is actually sending the monitor traffic to the node, and it is being encrypted/decrypted properly, so I suspect the server may be looking for some additional information, like HTTP version or standard headers.

 

 

I'd start by inserting HTTP version, Host header, and Connection: Close in your send string:
