A lot of applications require a properly-formatted HTTP 1.1 request for the monitor to work. Your browser is supplying that by default, along with host headers, etc.

So try modifying the GET string to: 

  
  GET /portal/page/status HTTP/1.1\n\nHost:www.hostname.com\n\n

The \n's are carriage returns and you would need to use your actual application name in the host header.

This is more in line with what your browser is supplying with the request (you can observe this with a tool such as HTTPWatch or Fiddler for IE, or Live HTTP Headers with Firefox).
