Configuring monitor for WSDL

If you have a request which generates the response you want, you should be able to configure that as the monitor send string in a custom HTTP monitor. You can use the -v flag to see the headers you're sending with curl. Then replace new lines with \r\n. Here is an example:

 

 

GET /app/xyz/AdminService.wsdl HTTP/1.1

 

User-Agent: curl/7.16.3 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.16.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3 libssh2/0.15-CVS

 

Host: 10.xx.xx.xx:24092

 

Accept: */*

 

 

You can probably leave out the user agent header and add a connection header which tells the server to close the connection:

 

 

GET /app/xyz/AdminService.wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 10.xx.xx.xx:24092\r\nAccept: */*\r\nConnection: close\r\n

Thanks a lot Aaron. Your solution worked!

 

 

But I got one more question: How would you modify

 

 

GET /app/xyz/AdminService.wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 10.xx.xx.xx:24092\r\nAccept: */*\r\nConnection: close\r\n

 

 

to support different IPs of pool members?

 

 

 

I tried shortening the line :

 

 

GET /app/xyz/AdminService.wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 10.xx\r\nConnection: close\r\n

 

 

and it works, but I don't like the fact that port number is now gone.

 

 

 

Thanks

You can try taking out the host header value and see if the application still parses the request correctly. If the app accepted a request with a host header value of 10.xx, chances are it's not using the host header for anything anyhow.

 

 

GET /app/xyz/AdminService.wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nAccept: */*\r\nConnection: close\r\n

Thanks Aaron. I used the following string and it worked just fine:

 

 

GET /app/hlr/AdminService.wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\r\nAccept:\r\nConnection: close\r\n
