Solved: ACE http probe "request method type" mandatory on A3(2.6)?

Hi people,

I recently upgraded to A3(2.6) from A3(2.0) and I don't see the N/A option on the http probe "request method type".

It also has an asterisk * which means it's mandatory.

I tried to set up a new http probe for another farm I am creating and the probe shows status failed, although I can ping and telnet to the http server on port 80 from the ACE context. My probe is like that:

probe http http_probe_WWW
interval 15
passdetect interval 60
expect status 200 200
open 10

My other http probes for other farms work ok after the upgrade and they are similar.

So my question is: Do I need to set the request method type or something else causes the probe to fail?

thanks a lot.

George

What you see is a problem with the GUI.

CSCtg78008 while creating http probe default method slected should be get as in CLI

But the request-method is not required.

So your config should work.

Do a 'show probe detail' to see the failure reason.

Get a sniffer trace as well.

Gilles.
