NimbostratusHealth monitors - XML API
Hi,
I'm trying to write a health monitor that sends an XML string, in order to receive some specific information. I've successfuly been able to replicate the query using cURL by replicating catured live, working traffic. However when I attempt to duplicate this into a health monitor I get a HTTP 400 Bad Request message:
This curl statement works and results in the output that follows, what is curious is that the first attempt fails with an authentication error but curl seems to try again and works. (some sensitive information has been removed)
curl -N -v \
-H 'Connection: Keep-Alive' \
-H 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'SOAPAction: "urn:domain-name.co.uk/service/check/Test"' \
--ntlm \
-u 'username:password' \
-d '' \

The following is the equivilent health monitor of the above curl statement, originally this errored as the header value Content-Length was missing. I added this manually with values of both 0 and 154 but each time monitor errors. From looking at a capture of the monitor the POST request appears to be identical to the working curl one
Monitor (actual carriage return entered for clarity)
monitor TEST_MON {
defaults from http
recv ""
send POST /service/check/11?wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\n
Authorization: NTLM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==\r\n
Host: 172.21.42.40:9003\r\nAccept: */*\r\n

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8\r\n
SOAPAction: \"urn:domain-name.co.uk/service/check/Test\"\r\n
Content-Length: 154\r\n\r\n
}
results in the following
POST /service/check/11?wsdl HTTP/1.1
Authorization: NTLM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==

Changing the content-length to 0 produces the following output
