Trouble with HTTP 200 OK monitor

Hi guys, I have one trouble when I'm trying to monitor the 200 OK status code of one HTTP service.

 

Here is the Send string of the HTTP monitor: HEAD HTTP/1.[01]\r\nHost:domain.com\r\n\r\n

 

Receive string: HTTP/1.[01] 200

 

Could someone tell me if the monitor is written like it shoud be?

 

Thanks !

    Send String might be:

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nhost:domain.com \r\nconnection: close\r\n\r\n

    Receive String:

    200 OK

    Hello, I think the resource (/status for example) is missing. Example of HEAD monitor (send string):

    HEAD /infor HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n

    Receive string

    200 OK

    We implemented it like this.

    send string: 

    GET /exampleURL HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

    receive string: 

    HTTP/1\.(0|1) (200)

    However I try to force our devolopers to create intelligent healthcheck websites with proper response strings. Much easier and quicker for everyone.
