What about a request for the page that the client is redirected to after the request to /? Also, it would be good to use an HTTP 1.1 formatted request so you can tell the web server that you won't be trying to re-use the TCP connection:

 

 

GET /default.aspx HTTP1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n

 

 

The receive string could be 200 OK if the site doesn't require authentication for the default page. If the site requires authentication it gets a little more complicated. You could just check for a 401 response, but this doesn't tell you if the app is down and the web server is up. You can configure a stock HTTP monitor to use basic auth. But for NTLM you would need to use an external scripted monitor.
