Setting UserAgent for Monitoring?

Small hint instead of telnet and dealing with end of line chars You can use simple GET app from libwww-perl package (in Debian distro). It will make such tests easier:

 

 

GET

 

Usage: GET [-options] ...

 

-m use method for the request (default is 'GET')

 

-f make request even if GET believes method is illegal

 

-b Use the specified URL as base

 

-t Set timeout value

 

-i Set the If-Modified-Since header on the request

 

-c use this content-type for POST, PUT, CHECKIN

 

-a Use text mode for content I/O

 

-p use this as a proxy

 

-P don't load proxy settings from environment

 

-H send this HTTP header (you can specify several)

 

 

-u Display method and URL before any response

 

-U Display request headers (implies -u)

 

-s Display response status code

 

-S Display response status chain

 

-e Display response headers

 

-d Do not display content

 

-o at> Process HTML content in various ways

 

 

-v Show program version

 

-h Print this message

 

 

-x Extra debugging output
