HTTPS Monitor - Host Headers

narzsa

Hi,

I'm struggling with getting the SAM template to check that the content-type contains text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

I've tried it as a search string, but that appears to just check the body. I've tried it using the qualifier Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 do under headers but that errors with;

Unexpected error occurred. The specified value is not a valid Host header string.

Am i missing something?

Hi Narzsa,

No I don't believe that you're missing anything, it appears a limitation of the monitor where it only checks the body text.

But getting the headers is easy enough with PowerShell:

# URL to query
$url = "https://www.softcat.com"
# Invoke the web request
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Method Get
# And extract the headers
$headers = $response.Headers
# Specifically content type
$content = $headers.'Content-Type'
# Somewhere to start from

If ($content -eq 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')
    {
      Write-Host 'Statistic:' 0
      Write-Host 'Message:' $content
    }
Else
    {
      Write-Host 'Statistic:' 1
      Write-Host 'Message:' $content
    }

 

I hope it helps,
