Specifying the Web Server's Absolute Path. Most Web servers use the
default path: forward slash (/). However, some use a different path such as
/home/index.htm. You do not want a test to fail because the probe sent a faulty
request.
To specify the correct absolute path for the destination server, from the
network monitor probe configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: absolute-path <path>
Remember to include the forward slash (/). For example, enter:
ProCurve(config-probe-MyWebServer)# absolute-path /home/index.htm
Configuring a Raw String of HTTP Commands. Complete this task only
when you have selected Raw for the HTTP request type.
A raw string is a series of HTTP commands that the ProCurve Secure Router
places in the data portion of the probe packet. For example, some Web servers
store information about network connectivity. You can configure the probe to
retrieve the file that stores this information.
To create the raw string, from the network monitor probe configuration mode
context, enter:
Syntax: raw-string
The CLI moves you to a prompt from which you enter the HTTP commands.
Typically, you should begin the script with this command: GET /. When you
have finished entering the commands, specify the correct HTTP version (for
example, HTTP/1.1) and enter two carriage returns (\r\n\r\n). To leave the
prompt from which you configure the string, type exit and press
Table 9-3 lists variables that you can specify in the HTTP commands. The
ProCurve Secure Router automatically replaces the variable with information
about itself.
