    Ah, the host header is required by most web-servers. We'll try again:

    telnet 10.10.10.1 80
 Then type
GET /_layouts/images/filename.html HTTP/1.1
 Enter once

Wow ... Thanks a lot Thomas , That worked .. I put "Down" in Receive Disable String , and change send string as you suggested ... and its all working as expected.... I am sure it was very simple monitor to configure (Not for me though) ... but my next task will be little more complicated ... basically I am trying to configure monitors for IIS level .. so it should enable or disable Pool member if Application Pool / IIS site goes down and also if there is any interruption on specified windows service. I got this article and it sounds the same that I am trying to do.... Please let me know if there is any other link that I can refer..... Thanks Thomas and F5Help.
