Quick, make a ticket to the network team and ask why the firewall is causing the internal server error.
I wish I could say I haven't seen devs do this.
In some architectures, where many microservices are behind load balancers and other front end proxies, sometimes it is the NOC’s fault. Yes a 500 should really only be a backend error.
Oh even better. I manage Kong (an API manager) and 90% of my time these days is explaining illiterate devs that no, Kong is fine, it's their shitty API crashing. Or better, their shitty HAproxy they don't know how to configure. FML.
