Receive String problem

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a regular monitor that would monitor a website with:

 

Send String: GET / HTTP/1.0

 

Receive String: Welcome Page

 

When I do telnet "IP of the Node" 80, I get text that is including "Welcome Page" string, but the monitor seems to be down.

 

When I use a Receive String of "div" the monitor goes up.

 

Is there something wrong with formatting of the Receive String for my request?

 

I guess the configuration should be pretty straightforward, but still I'm stuck.

 

I tried GET /Default.aspx HTTP/1.1 with similar recieve strings and still nothing.

 

 

Also, if I use my default monitor of:

 

Send String: GET / HTTP/1.0

 

Receive String: 200 OK

 

 

Everything works well, but I need to monitor some text from the website.

 

 

Any ideas?

    The app is sending a 400 error indicating a bad request. I'd guess it doesn't like the empty host header. It might also be an issue with the carriage return / line feeds on the monitor. You could try configuring the actual host header value the server expects in the send string and experiment with one or two \r\n's at the end:

     

     

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\nHost: \r\n

     

     

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\nHost: \r\n\r\n

     

     

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\nHost: actualhost.example.com\r\n

     

     

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\nHost: actualhost.example.com\r\n\r\n

     

     

    Once you get a 200 OK response, the pool member(s) will be marked up and the VIP will process requests.
