Testing HTTP Origin Fetch

This test is illustrated in
Client and origin (172.16.254.1 / sv05)
UNIX machine with wget
Files (text.txt) in testresults/maria directory
1
wget http://172.16.254.1/testresults/maria/text.txt
Client request for local content, content retrieved
wget http://172.16.254.2/testresults/maria/text.txt
2
Client request via MFD for origin content
wget http://172.16.254.2/testresults/maria/text.txt
3
Client request via MFD for same content
wget http://172.16.254.2/testresults/maria/text.txt
4
Client request via MFD for same content

Prepare for the test by doing the following, then follow the given steps as illustrated above.
•
Login to the client/origin UNIX machine and go to a test directory; for example,
testresults/joe; create a simple text file, test.txt, and add some content to give the file
some weight.
•
Login to the Media Flow Controller and configure a namespace, testHttp; specify a uri-
prefix with a domain, delivery protocol, and origin server, and make the namespace
active. Example:
test-vos (config) # namespace testHttp
test-vos (config namespace testHttp) # delivery protocol http
test-vos (config namespace testHttp) # domain any
test-vos (config namespace testHttp) # match uri /testresults/joe
test-vos (config namespace testHttp) # origin-server http sv05
test-vos (config namespace testHttp) # status active
test-vos (config namespace testHttp) # exit
1. From the client/origin machine, use wget to fetch the file locally (verify Wget). Example:
[joe@sv05 joe]$ wget http://172.16.254.1/testresults/joe/test.txt
--13:12:58--
Connecting to 172.16.254.1:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 165 [text/plain]
Saving to: `test.txt.2'
100%[=======================================>] 165
13:12:58 (15.7 MB/s) - `test.txt.2' saved [165/165]
2. Now use wget to fetch the file via Media Flow Controller. When Media Flow Controller
receives the first request for that namespace, it begins logging it. Media Flow Controller
receives the request, matches the uri-prefix to the namespace, and uses that
