[SalesForce] Error when doing a test callout to a REST web service

Turn off compression, this worked fine for me from from anonymous apex.

String content = '{"NumerVidskiptamanns": "500269677900", "Heiti":"Test"}';
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
Http http = new Http();
req.SetEndpoint('http://212.30.237.35:8080/VerkbokhaldRestService.svc/StofnaVerk');
req.SetBody(content);
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8');
req.setMethod('POST');
HttpResponse res = http.send(req);
System.debug(res.toString());

The debug log shows

10:41:35:829 USER_DEBUG [9]|DEBUG|System.HttpResponse[Status=OK, StatusCode=200]

[SalesForce] HTTP Callout Error

You are doing nothing wrong. The HTTP request object provided by Salesforce does not handle 302 redirects like your browser does.

You can try handling redirects by running the callout again on the redirected site, as shown in this answer, or you can use a tool to find out what the ultimate endpoint is, like redirect detective.

As long as you are able to hit this ultimate end-point site in your browser, you should be able to query it from the Salesforce HTTP object. Make your HTTP object query it, and it should all work.
