Thanks Nitass.. good stuf as always...

I think Inband will perfectly do, I just need to write the custom active monitor and use it with this passive monitor correct?

Now for the custom monitor, the POST I have is in this format ( like XML) 

6/6/20136/7/2013396866880505 "

DO i need to convert it to regex? writing this in regex to apear similar to the following is the challenge..

To send an HTTP version 1.1 request, configure the Send string to appear similar to the following example:

POST /MyApp.cgi HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: host.domain.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\nD1=asdf&D2=jklm

thanks,
