HTTP Monitor in 10.2
What's the current recommended method of monitoring with HTTP1.1?
I want to configure an HTTP monitor to send a GET request for /upgrade/test.jsp and look for a 200 - OK.
GET /monitor.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n
For the receive string, ideally you check for a string found only in the first 5120 bytes of a successful response. Or you could look for any HTTP 2xx or HTTP 3xx response:
HTTP/1\.(0|1) (2|3)

LTM http, https, tcp monitors with non-empty send string need \r\n specified (CR135548-1)
When you create a new TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS monitor in version 10.2.0, you must include \r\n at the end of a non-empty Send String, for example GET /\r\n instead of GET /. If you do not include \r\n at the end of the Send String, the TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS monitor fails.
