CirrusWhile it's not well documented, the HTTP monitor will accept any response (including 302's). However, you can control this behavior by using RegEx in the Receive String. For example, I use the following (and use HTTP >= 1.0):
^HTTP.1\.[0|1]\s([2|3][0-9][0-9])Which marks the monitor as up for any HTTP code 200-399.

NimbostratusHello Theo,
The default http monitor has a send string configured by default, so there is a send string, but no "recv" string. Based on that documentation the http monitor check is essentially a TCP monitor. Maybe I should contact F5 directly to find this answer.
Thank you,
John
