Change in HTTPS monitor from v11 to v12

I'm wondering if anyone can explain how monitors have changed how they do authentication from 11.6 to version 12. I have an HTTPS monitor that used username/password to get status. It worked fine in version 11.x but I can't get authenticated with it on version 12. Monitor format is:

GET /Pages/page1.aspx HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

I have also run the testing using SOL16165, but keep getting Unauthorized using that method.

Anyone know how version 12 changed the monitor commands?

    Hi TLL,

    Try removing the last "\r\n" from the send string. SOL13821

    GET /Pages/page1.aspx HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n

    Thanks for the info and links, but no-go on either suggestion. I've read through the SOLs provided and can't see what happened on these monitors. When I originally started in version 11.6 I did not have the trailing \r\n. I have now removed them again. So, in version 11.6 this worked, and upgrade to v12.0 they fail.

    GET /Pages/page1.aspx HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: \r\nConnection: Close
