Altostratusyou can also try making f5 behaving like a web browser by using cURL command (See URL )
curl -kv https://<vip fqdn>/ --resolve <vip fqdn>:443:<vip IP>
The cURL help is your friend
curl --helpSome of the more common options are:
-v for verbosity
-k to ignore certificate issues
-d to issue a POST with POST payload data
curl -vk https://www.example.com/foo -d 'user=admin&password=admin'
-X to explicitly define the request method
curl -vkX POST https://www.example.com/foo/bar -d 'user=admin&password=admin'The -v option is going to your best tool for troubleshooting monitors. You'll of course want to perform captures to see what the monitor is actually sending and receiving, and curl -v will allow you to simulate these requests.
