I cannot get this testing to work.

 

My script is located here: /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/external_monitor_d/ And expects Host-header, header-range and goodword to be set, but when I do the

 

export HOST= export HEADERRANGE=0-65535 export GOODWORD=flannen

 

And no matter what I do I get this:

 

rdexec 16 sh -x /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/external_monitor_d/:Common:curl-external_monitor_120542_4 10.75.2.30 80

This is the output command I get:

 

curl -fNs http://10.75.2.30:80 -H 'Host:{HOST}' -r '{HEADERRANGE}'

 

grep -i ' '

 

Not really useful. It seems like it is not taking notice of the variables I set.
