Problem

When using the Healthcheck url for Crowd, the curl command provides an expected 200k when Crowd is running. But when the same is tried on browser, we are noticing a message which is confusing.

For eg, if the following is used on browser:

http://localhost:8095/crowd/rest/healthcheck/1.0/check . We see a message like the following on the browser:

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below"

Whereas a curl command like below:

curl -i http://localhost:8095/crowd/rest/healthcheck/1.0/check gives a response similar to the following. Which looks normal.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self'

.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log into Crowd versions 4.x.x or above. This is not occurring on older versions 3.3.x or below.
2. From the browser, paste a url http://localhost:8095/crowd/rest/healthcheck/1.0/check

Expected Results

Either a 0k or Running message to indicate that Crowd is running should be shown along with http 200. 

Actual Results

We do note http 200, but we notice the following message on the browser:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below"

While  : *http://localhost:8095/crowd/status*

is working correctly as expected

Workaround

None at this point
