Can HostMon fill out a login form?

Post by Toaster »

I am trying to get HostMonitor to monitor a website that has a login/password box on the front page.

This isn't a SSL username/password prompt, it's a form within a cascading style sheet.

is it possible to get HostMon to fill out these boxes with a test user ID and password so I can test the actual application works, rather than just returning the front login page?

Thanks

HostMonitor cannot fill these boxes because these boxes doesn't really exist. Web browser displays boxes to allow user type information. What you need to do (and HostMonitor allows to do) - create HTTP request that will send username/password to the web server.
You may contact your web server administrator and ask how should look HTTP request. Or, if you have some knowlege about HTTP protocol, check HTML code of that form. You will see what method you should use (POST or GET), name of the fields, address of the script that proceeds request.
