Monitor Receive String question

I have a regular http monitor that sends a GET request to the server, and returns the following response:   HTTP/1.1 200 OK   Cache-Control: private   Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8...

Hi Thales,

 

 

Your monitor send string probably isn't setting an accept-encoding header so the server won't respond with gzip compressed content. So the monitor marks the server down. The servlet string is probably only found when the server is redirecting the client using the Content-Location header.

 

 

Is there a reason you don't want to look for an HTTP 200 response to mark the the pool members up? You could use this to support HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 responses with a 2xx status:

 

 

HTTP/1\.(0|1) 2
