SharePoint Crawl Log Error: “The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when attempting to download the item” .. for eg. *.aspx files
After some research I found a solution for that problem
Open Regedit on your search server/s
Navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0\Search\Global\Gathering Manager
Change Value "UserAgent" from "MSIE 4.01" to "MSIE 8.0"
Restart the SharePoint Search Service.
Open a SharePoint PowerShell
Get-SPSessionStateService
If this returns false then we need to deploy one
Enable-SPSessionStateService -DatabaseName “NameOfDatabase”

you can restart the Windows Service - SharePoint Server Search or if you want to be sure that everything will be reloaded simply restart your server. (of course one by one if you have a server farm)Anonymous

Hi Thomas,
Please correct If I am wrong here..
MSIE 8.0 is browser version on server, If I am using IE 10.0 then - should it be MSIE 10.0 ?
ThanksAnonymous

Looong time ago, but as far as i can remember its just the useragent string from the internet explorer you have installed on your search servers.
Just bing for: Whats my useragent..... Then youll find the msie value.

I had this problem recently and it was caused by an unpublished page layout. One more thing to validate.
