Can we use a HTTP monitor for my pool which is assocated to a VIP which is having HTTPS connection?

My virtual is configured to listen on port 443, HTTPS. I have clientssl as well. However, my pool-members are not having any certificate to exchange, rather they can read only plain text. but I need to have a content monitor set for my Pool. So can I use HTTP? If yes, then while checking for the response from the backend servers using CURL, do I need to use HTTP or HTTPS?

    Hello,

     

    Sorry I just read it again. As your backend accept only plain text, then you should use HTTP monitor.

     

    Hope it helps

    Hi,

     

    If you are targeting your backend servers, you should use http in your curl command.

     

    If you are targeting your Virtual Server, you should use https in your curl command.
