Try using something besides a ; to separate the user and userlogin or better yet encapsulate them in quotes???<div> </div><div> 'Cookie: "user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324"' <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 6:35 AM, <<a href="mailto:af.at.work@gmail.com">af.at.work@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> With cURL, I can successfully log into the website I ultimately want have Nagios test by passing --cookies. Something like this: curl --cookie "user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324" <a href="http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx" target="_blank">http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx</a> -v | grep Welcome I know it is successful because, 1, I can visually see the rendered code and 2, the grep search for Welcome would only be seen if the authentication was successful. I am trying to mimic this in Nagios with check_http like so: ./check_http -H <a href="http://mysite.com" target="_blank">mysite.com</a> -u <a href="http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx" target="_blank">http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx</a> -f follow -s Welcome -k 'Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324' -v One big difference I see is that in cURL the cookie is set on 1 line but the verbose response from check_http shows the cookie on two lines. Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324 vs Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr userlogin=123adsfjlk324 I am open to suggestions and of course alternatives. I have checked out WebInject but this seems to be SO close I hate to drop it. Lastly, I have tried check_curl, and extended it to support cookies. This DOES work but I am getting (null) on the responses and the grep never causes Nagios to fail regardless of a valid result being returned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
