HTTPS monitor (and curl on a LTM/GTM) fails to connect full
All,
apologies as I realise this may not be 100% F5 but I'm only getting the issue on F5 devices so was hoping someone would be friendly enough to point me in the right direction for troubleshooting. I'm trying to setup a simple HTTPS health monitor on a LTM which matches 'SEND' on a page. (quick background this is not a actual webserver but an app built on the openSSL packages and displays in a web browser without issue). As the monitor fails I tried using curl, from my curl on my windows box it works without issue (using curl -vk https://208.16.209.148 and its curl/7.19.4). However when trying curl from several LTM's at different location I just get:
* About to connect() to 208.16.209.148:443
* Connected to 208.16.209.148 (208.16.209.148) port 443
and then no more, it doesn't show a handshake on the SSL etc. If this was plain HTTP I'd run a packet sniffer but a its HTTPS I presume there is no point as I can't see inside the communication. Can anyone suggest a way to trouble shoot this further?
thanks in advance
Matt
