Editing the user profiles or using an old one was not sucessfull. It seems there has been something overwritten the user is not easily able to undo. The surprise was, that the Pinnacle device was able to get the data as usual. I tought this has to do with the source IP address because the Pinnacle device and my testing machine have not had the same IP address. I changed these to see the difference but there was none. I also tought the hidden user profile has something to do with the HTTP_USER_AGENT variant sent by the web browser. I was not able to succeed with using different web browsers.
