Using double slashes ?

[Danny Wigmans]

Hi Marc,
 
Thanks for the reply...
 
Just tried your second suggestion ( HTTP\/1.0\ 200\ OK ), without quoting
the -u http://and-so-on <http://and-so-on> , which works fine too... 
Now, I do have other check_http commands which use the same -e option, and
they do work. So it must be the combination of the -e and -u option that
give the problem...maybe a bug?
 
Thanks again,
 
Danny

I think the problem actually lies in your -e option, not -u. I have several
commands that look like 

        command_line    $USER1$/check_http --onredirect follow -I
$HOSTADDRESS$ -u  <http://$HOSTADDRESS$/login> http://$HOSTADDRESS$/login -s
\/html

That all work with no problems. I would imagine that it's having problems
with two aspects of it, the unescaped / and the fact that there are spaces.
Putting it in quotes would fix both of those as would '-e  HTTP\/1.0\ 200\
OK' I would expect.

Hi David,

 

Thanks !! It works like a charm !! Does this go for other privileged chars
as well?? Might solve a lot of headaches is this is put in the documentation
?? As far as I remember, the Nagios docs mention double quotes.....

Danny,

 

Put it in single-quotes. An example from my configuration

 

command_line    $USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -u '
http://www.yahoo.com' <http://www.yahoo.com'>  -e 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK' -w 10 -c
20

Hi, 

I am trying to get the check_http plug-in to work, so I can check a proxy
server. 

The command I try to use is: 

./check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u  <http://www.yahoo.com>
http://www.yahoo.com -e HTTP/1.1 200 

Though the command works fine from the bash shell on RH 9 under the nagios
user account, it doesn't work through the scripts...

When executing from the shell I get a HTTP Ok response, from the scripts it
returns a HTTP CRITICAL. 

I am using nagios-1.1 and nagios-plugins-1.3.1 (check_http (1.24.2.4) from
SourceForge... 

My hunch is that the // in the URL are not taken literal but are being
interpreted by nagios. Anyone any ideas, or a possible workaround? I have
already tried using \ as escape char, using %47%47, creating a macro in
resources.cfg, double quoting the URL, and passing it from services to a
$ARG1$ macro in my check_command, and combinations of these. Nothing worked
so far..

Ideas anyone??? 

Thanks, 

Danny
