[Nagios-users] check_http and xml

[Assaf F. <na...@fl...>]

Hello

I am trying to verify the working of a web service which output is a xml 
content .

I thought that using the check_http -s or -e will help me do the 
verifications by searching for a string in the xml however when trying 
the test , the result comes back as a 404 ( classified info changed to 
XXX ).

 ./check_http -H some.service.con -s "xml" -u 
"xml.aspx?account_code=XXXXXXX&license_code=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&action=lookup&postcode=XXXXXX"

HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request - string not found - 163 bytes 
in 0.013 second response time |time=0.013409s;;;0.000000 size=163B;;;0

the output of curling (curl -D - $URL ) the page gives this :

  </Data>


Does anyone have ideas on how to get xml content check ?
I looked at the nagiosexchange but did not find anything ( could be i 
was looking in the wrong place/context) .

Thanks
