NimbostratusHi All,
I would like to know what is the advantage of using host: in the monitor. Will that change the way of monitoring it was doing without a host name? Please provide some info on this.
Thanks, Sekhar
CirrusI am guessing you are talking about HTTP monitor that has the Host header. Sometimes servers can run multiple websites and using specific host headers can monitor specific sites.
Example: 3 sites, same health page (/health.html) on the same server.
domain.com/health.html
domain-1.com/health.html
domain-2.com/health.html
NacreousA client MUST send a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request messages..
Even when no vHost configured as Odaah describes above, a server should reject the request if it doesn't have a Host header.
CirrostratusIn fact, as lheartF5 said, it is a must in HTTP/1.1
It wasn't the case for HTTP/1.0 version...
