The LTM Specialist is writing a custom HTTP monitor for a web application and has viewed the content by accessing the site directly via their browser. The monitor continually fails. The monitor configuration is:
ltm monitor http /Common/exampleComMonitor {
defaults-from /Common/http
destination *:*
interval 5
recv "Recent Searches"
send "GET /app/feed/current\?uid=20145 HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost:
www.example.com\\r\\nAccept-EncodinG.gzip, deflate\\r\\nConnection: close\\r\\n\\r\\n"
time-until-up 0
timeout 16
}
A trace shows the following request and response:
Request:
GET /app/feed/current?uid=20145 HTTP/1.1
Host www.example.com
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Connection: close
Response: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Date Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:45:52 GMT Server Apache Location https://example.com/login.jsp Content-Encoding gzip Content-Type text/html;charset=UTF-8 Set-CookiE.JSESSIONID=261EFFBDA8EC3036FBCC22D991AC6835;
Path=/app/feed/current?uid=20145
What is the problem?
- A. The request does NOT include a User-Agent header.
- B. The request does NOT include any cookies and the application is expecting a session cookie.
- C. The HTTP monitor does NOT support monitoring jsp pages.
- D. The request includes an Accept-Encoding so the server is responding with a gzipped result and LTM monitors CANNOT handle gzipped responses.

- B. Incorrect syntax in send string. 'Connection: Close' should be 'Connection: Open'.
- C. The /test_page.html does NOT exist on the web server and should be added.
- D. The GET request Host header field requires a host name.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
