http monitor with authentication

In version 11.3, the HTTP monitor supports NTLM authentication. For the username, the domain must be capitalized. DOMAIN/user Something that I find odd, is that, according to F5 documentation, it doesn't matter if you use a back slash or a forward slash. I would recommend a forward slash "/" since the back slash is an escape character. You also can't use "connection close" like in most monitors. I have also found that you need a user agent sting for it to work. So it looks something like this:

GET /owa/ HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: [hostname or IP]\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0)\r\nConnection: keep-alive

I have gotten this to work without "connection keep alive" and I don't think it matters what the user agent string is, just as long as it is there.

If you are not on v11, this should help you out. https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/advdesignconfig.SuperHTTPMonitor.ashx
