≤GB≥Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)≤P≥
The protocol used to transfer web pages on the World Wide Web, defined in ≤U2≥RFC 2068≤P0≥ and ≤U2≥RFC 1945≤P0≥. The default TCP port number for HTTP connections is port 80.
This TCP probe lets you download a specific web page and scan it for a specific string of HTML.
≤i≥Host Name≤p≥ is the domain name of the web server (e.g. “www.dartware.com”). This can be derived from the host name part of the URL that you want to test. You must enter a valid "Host Name" to test web servers which implement virtual hosts.
≤i≥URL Path≤p≥ is the full path of the desired file on the web server (e.g. “/index.html”). The first character must be a '/'.
≤i≥String to verify≤p≥ is a string to verify in the data returned by the HTTP server. For example, if you are retrieving a web page, you might search for “<HTML>” or “<P>” to verify that the data is HTML.
≤i≥User ID≤p≥ is the user name typed into the web browser's password dialog. The default is to leave this blank. You should set this parameter if you want to test a web page that requires authentication.
≤i≥Password≤p≥ is the password for the web browser's dialog. The default is to leave this blank. You should set this parameter if you want to test a web page that requires authentication.
