https monitors

Good evening!

What I like to do is set my browser into Developer Mode, in this example IE11:

• In your browser, navigate to any website of your choice.
• Click on the Network tab, and click the Play button to enable network traffic capturing.
• Navigate to your target site (we'll use https://devcentral.f5.com))
• In the results that appear, double-click on the entry for the site in question.
• Note the Request Headers and Response Headers tabs. The request field

  GET / HTTP/1.1

  becomes the first part of the Send String and the entire response field

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  becomes the Receive String.

Since you're using SSL, it's best to note the host in case there is some kind of matching FQDN requirement on the server side.

Here's an example Send String that I use:

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: server.yourdomain.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

In the above Send String, it will negotiate the proper FQDN, send the string, then clean up the connection after itself.

I hope that helps!
