HTTPS OPTIONS Request

It should essentially be the same format as a GET, but you'll want to specify the Request-URI to get options for a specific resource, otherwise you could do * to get general server options. Maybe the following for a Send string:

 

OPTIONS /resource.api HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n

 

And the receive would be:

 

WHATEVEROPTION(S)YOUCONSIDERSUCCESSFUL

 

My formatting on the Send is probably a bit off, as well.

 

I've not built an OPTIONS monitor myself but I imagine you would build one similar to a GET request: (you may need to verify the syntax of the send request)

ltm monitor http OPTIONS-MONITOR {
    defaults-from http
    destination *:*
    send "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1\\r\\n"   
}
