401 - Unauthorized

[florian]

I'm checking some simple HTML-Pages that require authorization (password protected pages with username/password) without passing authorisation. The HostMonitor Reply is:
Test Status: Bad
Error code: 401
Error msg: Unauthorized

I need to set status to OK for error code 401 and to BAD for all other error codes.

Is any possibility to archieve this?

Thank you in advance

You may use "Use Normal Status if" option with expression like the following:
%HTTPCode%==401
Also, if you want to be alerted when HTTP page returns OK (HTTP code 200),
you may use "Use warning status if" option with expression like the following:
%HTTPCode%==200

Please check the manual or visit our web site for more information at:
Use Warning status option: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ningstatus
Use Normal status option: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... rmalstatus

I tested it before with %Reply%==401 but no way, %HTTPCode%==401 does the trick!
Thank you very much and have a nice day!

You are welcome!
BTW: You may also use macro variables like %HttpPage%, %HttpHeader% and %HostURL% with URL request or HTTP test methods:
