Monitor using host header

I think problem is that you're using telnet for this. Use something like netcat instead - it'll honor the literal \r\n characters and allow you to really mock up what the mointor string is doing. When you're doing it via telnet, every time you're hitting the return key you're appending another \r\n, so you're breaking the request, hence the 400 status.

 

 

For example, I've copied this from your post above Raj:

 

echo -e 'GET /monitor/f5bigip.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: dev-apps.test.com:80\r\nConnose\r\n\r\n' | nc 10.100.100.10 80

 

 

...which produces:

 

 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

 

Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:44:20 GMT

 

Connection: close

 

Content-Type: text/html

 

Content-Length: 10

 

Server: TwistedWeb/9.0.0

 

 

Success! Please post back if netcat doesn't work for you.

 

 

HTH,
