Configure HTTP test to go bad only on 503 status

How do I configure the HTTP test to only go bad if the http header contains:

HTTP/1.1 503

We are testing IIS7 application pool availability on windows 2008. We don't care about status's such as 3xx, 4xx or 500. If we get these then we know the app pool is running/accepting requests and consider them good.

Regardless of what condition I put into the Check Header field the test still fails if the site responds with a 404 or 500 status.

Thanks
Kevin

Set "Use Normal status if %HttpCode%<>503" option in Test Properties dialog

Hi Alex,

Ah ha! I never noticed the wee [+] next to Optional Status Processing to expand this pane.

Thanks again for the speedy reply.

Cheers
Kevin
