Hi Subrun,

you may take one of the CLI commands below...

Sending a HTTP request using default Route Domain use this command:

printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | nc 1.2.3.4 80

Sending a HTTPS request using default Route Domain use this command:

printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | openssl s_client -quiet -host 1.2.3.4 -port 443

Sending a HTTP request using Route Domain %10 use this command:

rdexec 10 printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | nc 1.2.3.4 80

Sending a HTTPS request using Route Domain %20 use this command:

rdexec 20 printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.de\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n' | openssl s_client -quiet -host 1.2.3.4 -port 443

Cheers, Kai
