NimbostratusTrying to build F5 http authentication monitor
Anyone have experience building a POST in the send string including username and password? Note: The authentication type is not basic.
SEND STRING: POST /Home/Login HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: f5.lab.domain.net\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n\r\nUserName=foo%40@bar.com&Password=foobar
RECIEVE STRING: 302 found.
The above doesn't seem to work as expected however I can get a valid response using curl. The above command was built using the post data from the curl output.
Also is "Host:" required in the POST? If so that above can't be correct simply due to the fact that the Host would be subject to change depending on the pool member to which the POST is sent.
Thanks in advance.

Mark_22062Looks like you maybe inserting @@ in the username, one url-encoded and one not. Try this:
POST /Home/Login HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: f5.lab.domain.net\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n\r\nUserName=foo%40bar.com&Password=foobarFailing that I would suggest you do a packet capture to see what is being sent/received.
johnmouser_2312You are correct. That was a typo on my part. Ill try a packet-capture to see if anything stands out.
