This page depicts the
default parameters that need to be configured for the ProxySvcTest.
-
The TEST PERIOD
list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.
-
Certain cookies that
need to be returned by the server on subsequent requests have to
be saved locally. This has to be specified in the COOKIEFILE
text box.
-
The host on which
the proxy server is running has
to be mentioned in the PROXYHOST text box.
-
The port number on
which the proxy server is listening has to be provided in the PROXYPORT
text box.
-
The
user name and the password of the proxy server have to be specified in
the PROXYUSERNAME and PROXYPASSWORD text boxes
respectively.
-
Confirm
the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text
box.
-
In
the CONTENT text box, specify a set of instruction:value pairs.
that are used to validate the content being returned by the test. If
the CONTENT value is none:none, no validation is
performed. The number of pairs specified in this text box, must be
equal to the number of URLs being monitored. The instruction should be
one of Inc or Exc. Inc tells the test that for
the content returned by the web server to be valid, the content must
include the specified value (a simple string search is done in this
case). An instruction of Exc instructs the test that the
server's output is valid if it does not contain the specified
value.
-
The
ProxySvcTest supports HTTP authentication. The CREDENTIALS parameter
is to be set if a specific user name / password has to be specified
to login to a page. This parameter is a comma separated list of user
name:password pairs, one pair for each URL being monitored. A value
of none:none indicates that user authorization is not
required. Please be sure to check if your web site requires HTTP
authentication while configuring this parameter. HTTP authentication
typically involves a separate pop-up window when you try to access
the page. Many sites uses HTTP POST for obtaining the user name and
password and validating the user login. In such cases, the username
and password have to be provided as part of the POST information and
NOT as part of the CREDENTIALS specification for the
ProxySvcTest.
