Helth Monitor http HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Hello all,

 

I have built the following monitor:

GET /lexsoft/sgbplus/#default:0 HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: test.test\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

as return code I expect a 200 OK but get a 400 back

 

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad RequestDate: Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:32:30 GMT

Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)

Content-Length: 226

Connection: close

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<html><head>

<title>400 Bad Request</title>

</head><body>

<h1>Bad Request</h1>

<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br />

</p>

</body></html>

 

If I do the following CURL command I get my 200 back

curl -v http://test.test/lexsoft/sgbplus/#default:0

 

*  Trying test.test...

* Connected to test.test (x.y) port 80 (#0)

> GET /lexsoft/sgbplus/ HTTP/1.1

> Host: test.test

> User-Agent: curl/7.47.1

> Accept: */*

>

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

 

What should my monitor look like to get the desired result? 

 

Thanks for your help

 

 

 

  • Can you please remove "#default:0" from URI of monitor string and give try.

    i.e

     GET /lexsoft/sgbplus/ HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: test.test\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

     

  • Have times "#default:0" that deleted.

    But has not led to any new result

     

    What is interesting, with two servers that have been in the pool for a while, the check to works as described above. Only with the two new servers I always get the answer 400 back

     

      The F5 description is about SSL.

    For me it is pure HTTP traffic

       I have choosen the link to the F5 solution randomly. I wanted to show you what the hash mark (#) does in a link. The is linking to a specific section in the html document you get from the server.

       

      In your browser, when you open http://www.mysite.com/subsite1 - you will go to the top of subsite one. When you open http://www.mysite.com/subsite1#headline2 - you will jump to headline 2 of subsite1.

      I am not sure how the monitors of the BIG-IP handle the #.

  • I tried a little more and deleted the "Connection: Close" now I get a 200 back
