I was JUST in the process of trying to deal with the same issue.  We have some 
integration tests that hit OL and starting this week they always return 500 
errors.  Doing the same query in curl works fine.  I assume we're not sending a 
header that OL is expecting, but there is no indication of what that might be.

Luckily, we'll be retiring these particular tests next week.
