Modify Default HTTP Monitor

I am trying to figure out how to modify the the "http" Monitor "Send String". I need the Send String to only use "GET /" and not the default "GET /\r\n" string. I know this has to be done through the command line but my linux skills are poor at best. Any help would be appreciated!

    The default is just fine. The \r\n are control characters indicating a new line and do not actually form part of the request URI.

     

     

    Is there a reason you can't use the GUI? I normally prefer CLI but for something like this the GUI is probably more appropriate.

    Okay so it wasn't that I needed to drop the \r\n I actually had to add them at the end of the costum heath monitor... in version 10 the \r\n were automatically appended and in version 11 that is no longer the case. So this is now resolved. Thanks for the reply Steve!
