302 redirects in 5.30.0 cause a regression in M/Monit

[twm]

Monit 5.30.0 contains a fix for issue #1009 in commit 89a7a0f. Unfortunately this fix causes a regression in M/Monit.

With M/Monit performing any action (monitor, unmonitor, etc.) on a host running Monit 5.30.0 will execute the action but then open a dialog stating:

Internal Server error: Cannot connect to Monit at (server’s IP and port) -- 302 Moved Temporarily. Please check Monit Network Settings for this host

For the time being the issue can be avoided by downgrading to Monit 5.29.0.

Tested on FreeBSD with M/Monit 3.7.9 from mmonit.com and Monit 5.29.0 and 5.30.0 from the FreeBSD ports collection.

fixed in the next M/Monit release (3.7.10), which should be available ca. by the end of Feb 2022
