hi. can't reproduce with the information you give.

please add this two lines of code

unset($response->body);
$app->enqueueMessage(nl2br(print_r($response, true)), 'notice');

In this line https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/administrator/components/com_config/model/application.php#L141

Then choosee "Administrator Only" or "Entire site".
You will get a notice after saving with some debug info.

Example:

[suklamc]

This is what i got ...

Notice

[code] => 400

I see Issue Number #11785 is also for the same thing

[andrepereiradasilva]

is not the same thing:

400 Bad Request
The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications.

See https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Reset priority according to our standards

[andrepereiradasilva]

A HTTP 400 status code seems to be server config issue

[brianteeman]

I am closing this issue. It is a server issue and Joomla is correctly telling you that. Nothing we can can do
