With cURL, I can successfully log into the website I ultimately want have Nagios test by passing --cookies.
Something like this: curl --cookie "user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324" http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx -v | grep Welcome I know it is successful because, 1, I can visually see the rendered code and 2, the grep search for Welcome would only be seen if the authentication was successful. I am trying to mimic this in Nagios with check_http like so: ./check_http -H mysite.com -u http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx -f follow -s Welcome -k 'Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324' -v One big difference I see is that in cURL the cookie is set on 1 line but the verbose response from check_http shows the cookie on two lines. Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324 vs Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr userlogin=123adsfjlk324 I am open to suggestions and of course alternatives. I have checked out WebInject but this seems to be SO close I hate to drop it. Lastly, I have tried check_curl, and extended it to support cookies. This DOES work but I am getting (null) on the responses and the grep never causes Nagios to fail regardless of a valid result being returned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
