HTTPS Monitor Help

I'm having trouble getting a HTTPS monitor to work correctly (turn green). When I use curl, I see:

 

> GET / HTTP/1.1

 

> User-Agent: curl/7.15.5 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5

 

 

> Host: 172.26.96.105

 

> Accept: */*

 

>

 

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

 

< Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 19:50:07 GMT

 

< Connection: Keep-Alive

 

< Content-Type: text/html

 

< Content-Length: 3514

 

 

I have tried every variation of "Send String" that I can think of with no success. Any suggestions on a valid send string to use for this monitor?

 

 

Thanks

    we use a version of this, the parent monitor type must be https, (probe type)

     

    HEAD /thePAGEyourLOOKINGfor/heartbeat.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: HOSTNAME.domainname.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n

     

     

    use the page your looking for in place of mine and add the correct host name (vip DNS name) if the server expects one

     

    don't forget to set the proper return code 200 if thats what you expect

     

    hope it works it works in our shop
