Strange behavior with http test

Post by xcentric »

I decided to convert some url tests to http.

For the http tests I check contents and use an expression like this one.
('Some string on the page') and not ('404')

Other settings are to follow redirect, NOT case sensitive and NOT whole word. So for the url I enter the non www url and the test should complete the redirect to the www site then check contents.

The issue is every 8 to 12 checks (no pattern) I get bad contents.

When I look at the BAD email the http code is 200 and the httppage variable which downloads the page shows the string exactly as I entered it.

My suspicion was the redirect was not completing properly but the bad email shows the header of the final destination web server. What could be happening here

A side note: When I check the html under the httppage variable it appears the entire page was not downloaded (links missing from bottom areas, incomplete tables). Is hm supposed to download the entire page or is there a maximum size allowed?

Entire page should be downloaded.
What exactly server/URL you are checking?

PS
HostMonitor downloads and checks entire page but %httppage% variable its a different matter.
Quote from the manual
================
%htppage% - Represents contents of the monitored web page (first 32768 (32K) characters of the web page if test was performed by HostMonitor; first 2048 (2K) characters of the page if test was performed by RMA).
================

The url is behind a firewall. If you could provide a source ip I can add it to the white list. send it to my email since pm's are disabled.
