CirrostratusHow to run GET command in F5 CLI
Hello All,
Probably one of the silly question.
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: host.domain.com\r\nConnection: Close , i want to run this send string command from CLI of F5 to see in reply what output in return I am getting.
When I run this command from CLI it does not show any output instead it is stuck at CLI ?
Whats wrong I am doing ?

Hi Subrun,
you may take one of the CLI commands below...
Sending a HTTP request using default Route Domain use this command:
printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | nc 1.2.3.4 80Sending a HTTPS request using default Route Domain use this command:
printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | openssl s_client -quiet -host 1.2.3.4 -port 443Sending a HTTP request using Route Domain %10 use this command:
rdexec 10 printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | nc 1.2.3.4 80Sending a HTTPS request using Route Domain %20 use this command:
rdexec 20 printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | openssl s_client -quiet -host 1.2.3.4 -port 443Cheers, Kai
youssef1Hi,
the simplest solution is to use curl which is supported by F5:
curl -i -k https://1.1.1.1.1/index.html -H "Host: host.domain.com"- -i : see header in response
- -k : ignore ssl erro
- -H : insert header
- 1.1.1.1 --> set you backend IP
