NimbostratusReceive string not matching on request
I am fairly new to doing HTTP requests. My company doesn't do a lot of http specific stuff on the LBs.
Anyway I'm trying to do a basic http monitor and I can't seem to get the receive to match. H...

NoctilucentChange your monitor Blah send string to this (replace host.domain.com with the actual host name):
GET /BCCommunicationDirector/Blah.ashx HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: host.domain.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\nYou need to specify a host header in your send string to comply with HTTP/1.1.
Brian_Gibson_30Thanks Cory. I don't have an actual host name to for this specific service. Is there a way to use the node IP address in the check?- Brian_Gibson_30Never mind. Apparently the host name doesn't matter in this case.
- Cory_50405That should also work. In your cURL statement above, you can see the HTTP/1.1 request specifying the IP address as the host, and the server responded with a 200 OK. Looks like it isn't doing any host name checking.
- Cory_50405If your receive string still isn't working, try changing it to this: 200\sOK
- Brian_Gibson_30Everything is working. I guess all the docs I was reading referring to http .9 and that threw me for a loop. I thought the LBs would add the host aspect. Obviously I was mistaken.
- Cory_50405Correct. HTTP/0.9 is used by default. Glad to hear things are working now.
