Default Word cannot open hyperlink

I finally figured out the problem. The reason was that my website returned af
405 error (my mistake) on the first page even though the page loaded
correctly in a browser. Office sees this as an error and won't load the page
even though it's served.

Hi there

I have a problem with Word and Excels hyperlinks, which won't open. I get
the message "Unable to open ... Cannot download the information you
requested", when I click on the hyperlink from within Word/Excel. There's no
problem accessing the link from a browser.

What is Word doing that is non standard here? Why is it unable to open the
hyperlink when any browser is able to?

The link BTW points to an Apache server that uses URL-rewriting.
