Error 403 Forbidden returned in HTTP test

opensystems218 · Post by **opensystems218** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:38 pm

I am currently evaluating KS Host Monitor and trying to make it go to a web site which is supposed to return a 403 Forbidden.

Then I want to check the contents for a specific word.

I cant make this work as KS Host Monitor automatically returns a Bad status as soon as it see's the 403 Forbidden.

Is it possible to customise it so that it continues to run through the test and do the checks I have asked for.

Thanks

Sorry, this is impossible with URL or HTTP test.
If you are checking web server using HTTP protocol, I think you may use TCP test:
- enable "Send data" option, provide string like GET http://www.mywebsite.com/pathtothepage.htm%0D%0A%0D%0A
- enable "Alert when: reply contains" (or "reply doesn't contain") option and specify data that you expect in responce from web server
