NimbostratusMulitple CuRL Statements - How and do you think this will help?
Hello All,
I have used cURL statements in the external monitors successfully in the past, but I have a scenario with a SharePoint website that requires HTTP basic authentication where the std curl statement is not working for some reason. I think I need an additional request/statement to maybe make this work right ...
SCENARIO: Sharepoint 2007 - Accessing ASPX page that runs test and returns a string = 1-UP
When I access the home page on the site in question, there is an embedded credentials box in the web page (not NTLM). I have tried to have my curl statement go directly to a page after the login page with the credentials in the CURL statement like this below:
curl -L -v --user 'something:pswd' http://${IP}:${PORT}/_layouts/ACCApplications/CommonLogin/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fwhatsup.aspx -H "Host:domain.somewhere.org" | grep -i "1-UP" 2>&1 > /dev/null
I get a 200 OK when I do this, but its not actually going past the initial page that prompts for the login. I am thinking maybe I need to embed another CURL statement to achieve this. Thus, my theory is that I just need to get to the home page first, then add additional CURL statement to direct URL for my whatsup.aspx monitor file that will then authenticate with the credentials.
So the full code I might need is:
curl -L -v http://${IP}:${PORT}/ -H "Host:domain.somewhere.org" | grep -i "Welcome" 2>&1 > /dev/null
mark node UP if expected response was received
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then nest IF somehow for another curl statement - dont know syntax
Put another curl statement here with credentials -- curl -L -v --user 'uname:pswd' http://${IP}:${PORT}/whatsup.aspx -H "Host:domain.somewhere.org" | grep -i "1-UP" 2>&1 > /dev/null
then
echo "UP"
fi
rm -f $PIDFILE
exit
Again, I dont know the syntax or if this will even work? Suggestions are welcome ... I might be going down the wrong path on this. I cant seem to do just an HTTP monitor from GUI because of this issue where it seems I have to make the initial request to get to the site then make another one to get to next page using credentials.
Thanks everyone.

Dbow_21284OK, I have figured out how to nest the if statement. It was easy, guess I just need to try. However, I still don't know if its the most efficient way.
I am still running into an issue though. It seems that for a specific SharePoint site, that requires HTTP authentication, I cannot browse to the URI that serves as my monitor script. Its almost as if the credentials aren't getting passed.
Here is my code:curl -L -v http://${IP}:${PORT}/_layouts/ACCApplications/CommonLogin/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fwhatsup.aspx -H "Host:members.acc.org" | grep -i "Welcome" 2>&1 > /dev/null mark node UP if expected response was received if [ $? -eq 0 ] then curl -L -v --user 'username:somepswd' http://${IP}:${PORT}/whatsup.aspx -H "Host:members.acc.org" | grep -i "1-UP" 2>&1 > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo "UP" fi fi rm -f $PIDFILE exit

I will be parousing the web logs and everything looking for stuff but just wanted to post this for insight and if anyone else has experienced this.
Thanks
