NimbostratusI am having trouble getting a custom GET / health monitor set up. Trying 1st in CLI.
Hi, I am following all the examples I have seen here so far and cannot get the CLI to return anything but "Write error: Connection reset by peer". Here is my command: echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nhost: url/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx Close\r\n" | nc IP address 443 I am looking to the specific page, if it responds with anything except the 200 OK then mark the node down. I thought I would test the GET 1st but like I said I get write error every time. I need the monitor to go all the way to this specific page. Can anyone see what my issue might be? Other than lack of experience :)
Thanks, Eddie

Eddie_27920I have also tried with the same results of the write error connection closed as mentioned above. echo -e "GET /Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx HTTP/1.1\r\nhost: url\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n" | nc IP address 443- Kevin_Stewart

Okay, well that at least indicates that you can get past the SSL. Now it's saying that the requested resource isn't available. Are you certain of this URI?

We are thinking we may need to authenticate according to the server app owner
What kind of authentication?

I believe the issue is that netcat isn't going to do the SSL negotiation. You could use openssl s_client, but it'd probably be easier to use cURL: curl -k https://192.168.5.198:443/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx -H "Connection: close"

No. You're doing the cURL in place of the netcat. Not combined.
curl -k https://sqlreports.dev.mesaaz.gov/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx -H "Connection: Close"If you get a 404 response, that almost always means that the resource you're asking for doesn't exist, not that there's an authentication error. An auth error is usually a 401, though it is conceivably possible for an application to throw a 404 if auth fails (not typical though).
