URL monitoring shell script

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs,

I am asked to develop a shell script for testing certain URLs by posting user name and password.

Does anyone has some scripts which i can modify and use it ?

Thanks,
Shiv

take a look at wget command. I am not sure if it supports gets and posts but it does some pretty amazing stuff in my opinion.

if you do not already have it, you can download it from :

Username and passwd for proxy server or web server?

You can use wget utility for this.

wget --http-user= --http-passwd=

You can put it into .wgetrc in your home directory.

For proxy server then,

wget --proxy-user=user --proxy-passwd=password

Get wget utility and try it with shell script.

Hello All,

I tried wget in both HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11.11 and got following error:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libcrypto.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

Wheather I need to install any library?

Thanks in advance

Is libcrypto.sl library available in your machine. It has to be SHLIB_PATH location.
