NimbostratusCustom HTTP Monitor looking for String Response
I am wondering if it is possible to perform a custom HTTP Monitor to receive a string response.
We have a specific application that will return a 0 or a 1 on the request. 0 = good, 1 = bad
Can I set up a monitor that would be able to check for a 1?
Here's my test:
GET /blah/RunMonitor.aspx?version=three HTTP/1.1\nHost: blah.blah.com\nConnection: close\n\n
And receive string: 0

If you use 0 as a receive string any 0 in the response content will be considered success (like the 0 in 2009 in the date header). Is the 0 surrounded by new lines or some kind of HTML tag? If so you could use \n0\n or 0 as the receive string.

wtwagon_99154Thanks - just wanted to make sure it was possible. I know the 0 and 1 idea won't work, so I will work with our application guys to rename the 0 and 1. Thanks!- hoolioIt would be ideal to have them use a more unique string which would only be found in a successful response.
