HTTP keepalive with 302 response

[keithredding]

TCP/80 keepalive works fine. With default HTTP keepalive the server showed down, so Ethereal traced and discovered response was 302 not 200. Set response code to 302, but still showed down. Any ideas?

could you do a 'show service Doyle' so we can see the keepalive reported error.

What software version ?

Thanks,

Gilles.

Hi all,

I'm getting the same problem ...

Im running a 8.20.2.01 version on a CSS11501

and when i configure the command "keepalive http-rspcode 403", (which is what im getting from response) the service stays down and says "Keepalive Error: General failure".

Any ideas ?

Best Regards,

Hi Bruno,

Gave up and used scripted keepalives to match for a static title on the index page instead.

Then the developers wanted the CSS to lose a server if dependent services on several other servers went down, so get them to host an HTTP page with fields populated with "OK" from a query to each of the other servers, then had the script check for all the "OK"s.

Regards

Keith
