<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, I'm trying to do two non-standard web checks
with Nagios that are causing me problems:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) We have an app server that responds to standard
HTTP requests but returns type Content-Type “application/octet-stream” (not
valid HTML). check_http barfs on the output. I need something almost
exactly like check_http but will accept arbitrary output. Any ideas on how
do to this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) I have a web application that I want to monitor
the log in process. The way it works is I POST credentials to a login web
page, which then sets a cookie, and sends me a redirect. The redirected
web page checks the cookie and then displays some data. check_http
obviously does nothing with the cookies, so that doesn't work. I need
something that will return the cookie properly. A lot of the web test
script frameworks don't even appear to do that. Any thoughts on how to
accomplish this?</FONT></DIV>
