HTTP Measurements

HTTP application pings are simply web requests. The only parameter that you need to supply is the URL parameter. It takes the form :

URL=[<protocol>://]<host>[/<resource>][:<port>]

When using this type of active measurement, the agent will issue an HTTP request with the following format:

GET http://<Resource> HTTP/1.0
   User-Agent: PremiTech PerformanceGuard
   Host: <HostName>
   Connection: Close
   Pragma: no-cache
   Content-Type: */*

and await the reply.

If a reply is received (before the timeout is reached) the round-trip time will be noted.
