I have sidestepped the problem by going to a different website that
has almost the same information.  That still leaves the puzzle.

The websites in question are www.ecs.com.tw and www.ecsusa.com

the 500 code I get back is supposedly a server side error, not my
fault.

In theory it could be a timeout, or something to do with sending
multiple gets. The first works. Or the timing between gets.  Yet my
experiments seemed to eliminate those causes.  I think I will have to
leave this. It a black hole without much reward for the solution other
than satisfying curiosity. I just hoped someone would think of some
factor I had not considered.
