send and recieve string health monitor clearification

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering if I can some clarification on http and https health monitors.

 

1. The default http and https monitors, do they just send a http request 5 seconds by default. Sending a GET / in the send string.

    

2. Is the send string in the http monitor sending or is it sending a GET a string ? And is that done in the request headers ?

    

3. The receive string, is that whats going to be the response headers on the monitor?

    

Any clarification would be helpful

 

Thanks
