Re: Check a string in a web page of more than 256 bytes

[David Llanos]

        Thanks for the response.
        I have tested it with a web page in my apache and it works
perfectly:
check host myHost with address 10.96.115.223
if failed url http://10.96.115.223/testpage.html
and content == "StringToTest"
timeout 30 seconds 2 times within 3 cycles
then alert

        But when i try it with a page of BEA WebLogic Server it doesn't
work:
check host beaServer with address 10.96.115.223
if failed url
http://10.96.115.223:8080/Portal_State/PortalState?operation.invoke=sayState
and content == "StringToTest"
timeout 30 seconds 2 times within 3 cycles
then alert

        Do you know if there is any limitation with the content??? The
string I want to test in the second case is in the middle of a page of 10
KB. In the log I see:
[ Jul  5 13:26:27] error    : HTTP error: Failed regular expression test on
content returned from server
[ Jul  5 13:26:27] error    : 'beaServer' failed protocol test [HTTP] at
INET[10.96.115.223:8080] via TCP

        Thanks in advance.

        David.
