When trying to monitor a URL using the WebMonitor agent the following alarm appears:
---
"Cannot access the URL https://myWebPage.com/. Client submits a request to the server that does not comply with the HTTP protocol, or the server returns the contents of the HTTP protocol that does not meet the requirements."

When setting the Agent Manager into debug mode, further details are logged in the WebMonitor agent log file:

The unsafe character needs to be encoded.
The encoding for "\" is "%5C".
Further details about encoding can be found here. Also there are Encoding Webpages available which will help to replace the unsafe characters.
