To get monitoring working I'm using a half HTTP connection which is satisfied so long as the port is open, however I've had failures where HTTP is responsive but shib isn't working. On a web server I can telnet or openssl to the port and perform a GET / to look for a response, however this doesn't work for shib, does anyone have a suggestion how I can send a test to the shib server to insure it's up and functioning?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks</div><div dir="ltr">-Bob<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465396330124_9580">--<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465396330124_3759">Bob Lamothe<br>robert_lamothe@yahoo.com<br>KB1BOB<br>603-918-6336<br><br></div></div></body></html>
