New Alert method - Request URL

Post by pjsmith »

Hi,

Of all the alert methods, there is one very important one missing (least I could not see how to do it without scripting somthing or running and external program). Request a URL. There are a lot of uses for this. Our provider lets us send SMS via HTTP requests. Also, we have several admin scripts on webservers that do things etc.

It would be really usefull to have and very easy to add.

Thanks :)

Its not missed, "Send data to TCP/UDP port" action allows you to perform URL requests:

E.g.
Server: www.myserver.com
Port: 80
Protocol: TCP
Init packet: GET http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/addeven ... us=%Status% %0D%0A%0D%0A
Wait for answer: 0

Ah, thanks.

I guess this is _almost_ as easy :) (I'm lazy!)

Thanks.
