custom headers in http advanced sensor

Votes:

0

Hi, We need to pass header information to a web site. We tried to use http advanced sensor as described in the manual but there are no "use custom HTTP Headers" and no "Custom HTTP Headers". We are using version 14.1.8.1371. What version will these features be available ? Is there another way to implement sending custom headers to a web site?

thanks, sholzer

This is possible in the latest releases of PRTG, please make sure that you're running the latest version of PRTG since this feature probably wasn't available back then. You can find more details in the sensor's manual page.

Using the Custom HTTP Headers it's possible to specify custom HTTP headers that you want this sensor's HTTP request to contain. Each line has to contain a valid HTTP header, i.e. key: value.

Note: The following HTTP headers must be excluded: user-agent, content-length, host.

Can't we use custom headers with HTTP Data Advanced sensor?

No, you can't - I replied in your other thread, though :)
