http get / URI

For multi-step you'll need to create an external monitor. Which in your case would be something like a bash script that uses curl to access the content, testing the results along the way...

If the requests can be done independently (e.g. You want to verify the redirect AND that the content for the redirect is there, but you don't need to do 1, followed by the other) then you could simply attach an HTTP monitor for the initial access and check the redirect is there, then a second (HTTPS) monitor that accesses the (Static) URI to verify the content from that.

I think there's a better way to do this though... Do you really need to check both the HTTP and HTTPS server working on a node for the pool member to be considered up?

1. Although you can telnet to port 443, you'r enot going to get what you expect. Telnet doesn't do SSL.
2. As for 1

Note that if you want to check by hand, either use curl, OR openssl

1. For a different VS on port 80 I take it...
2. OK. You don't really ned to check the :80 then. Just an HTTPS monitor on the pool would be fine.

I created an https monitor, and it downed the pool members (though the app is up and running).

what send and receive string are you using?

sol2167: Constructing HTTP requests for use with the HTTP or HTTPS application health monitor

are you able to get response if testing the send string with openssl s_client?

testing HTTPS with openssl

testing HTTPS with openssl

Syntax is

openssl s_client -connect fqdnorip:portnum

Then when you gets connection (You won't get a prompt) type

GET /eftxweb/access.ofx HTTP/1.1
host: xyz.fqdn.gov_as_appropriate
connection: close

Remember to type that extra (RETURN Key) after the connection close for the blank line to indicate end of the request... And you should get a response.

I get the ssl connection, shows me the certificate etc...then when I execute the GET, I get the 200 OK response from the pool...

that means the send string should be correct.

so, can you try capture the health monitor traffic to see if there is reset?

 tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap host x.x.x.x and host y.y.y.y and port zzz -v

x.x.x.x is non-floating selfip
y.y.y.y is pool member ip
zzz is pool member port

thanks for all the responses...got this squared away...problem was with the app, not the monitor monitoring the app...DOH!!!!
