Cirrushttp monitor failed
Trying to go from Cisco ACE to F5.. cannot get this monitor to work on the F5 ..
A simple soultion would be wonderful.. I think the server responds with some kind of rediect 303.
The Cisco was fine .. the F5 doesnt like it !
please keep any suggestions VERY simple, I am new to F5.. and so far everything slightly beyond standard things seem to be a massive complexity with the F5
probe http blah blah interval 20 passdetect interval 5 receive 2 request method get url /asad/adaasdfas/!asdfasd?pyActivity=Code-Security.EndSession&pzAuth=guest expect status 200 399
Many thanks

If you use HTTP/1.1, the Host: header is required. You can try a simple GET request without an HTTP version and so on, but some web servers won't like it. My recomendation would be to include HTTP version, include the Host header, and also send a connection close.
Send: GET /asad/adaasdfas/!asdfasd?pyActivity=Code-Security.EndSession&pzAuth=guest HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: hostname\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\nIf you want to match anything between 200 and 399 as a response, you will need to use a regular expression in the receive string. My recommendation would be to use a request that produces a consistent result so you don't have to guess.
Receive: [23][0-9][0-9]
