Check if html page exists.

Is it possible in The Dude to create a probe that checks if a certain page is available? (ex. http://some.company.com/check.html) I don’t want to check if port 80 is up and running I just want to check the page.

Thanks in advance!

The webserver usually will show a 404 error page, which would be the same as any other webpage. You should be checking for specific content on that page, but that is not possible, as far as I can imagine.

You just want to prove you can receive a web page?

Create a new probe, of type TCP, agent server, in Send put the URL between the Get and HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n. In the Recieve box put a word that exists on the web page in question. For example maybe you are grabbing the web page http://www.google.com the word “about” is on that page.

Send: GET http://www.google.com HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
Receive: about

You can do connect only to test if a port is open (the thing you said you don’t care to test) or set the port to something other than 80 if your web server is on another port.
