1   General / Development Discussion / Logging onfail when running in nagios plugin mode  Jul 19th, 2010, 4:09pm  Started by rb1980 | Last post by rb1980 Hi,   I am running WebInject as a Nagios plugin, and everything is fine, except that I want to be able to "capture" the request/response when the check fails. Unfortunately, when running in nagios reporttype mode, the http.log logging is disabled. I could probably hack thru the code to get this to work, but figured I would ask if anyone has already done it and could send me the updated script to save some time... Thanks.   Reply Quote Notify of replies  2   General / User Forum / webinject fails unless root or local web server  Dec 11th, 2007, 7:51pm  Started by wgibbs | Last post by wgibbs I just resolved my issue after making a long post.     It turns out it was a permission issue.  /etc/resolv.conf had 600 for permissions and apparently even if you use an IP addresss, Webinject fails.   So be sure to check /etc/resolv.conf  for readability in addition to other permissions.   Reply Quote Notify of replies  3   General / User Forum / 500 error when using WebInject.  Nov 21st, 2007, 3:50pm  Started by rspott | Last post by rspott First off, excellent application. Outperforming Load-Runner by a mile! (or 10!)   I have a web-app that I am more than able to parse through with webinject. However, when I attempt to grab a pdf file I get a 500 error. I realize the 500 error comes from the server (in this case an IIS box, not that it matters).   Here is what I get when I use "Fiddler" to proxy my requests I get a form, that I successfully submit, the form reloads as it is supposed to, and then the UI has a javascript pop up that has a standard get request in it.     This get request calls a pdf file.   so...   page 1 (form response)   BLAH BLAH BLAH HTML.... ...   <script language='javascript'>scrollTo(0,0);</script> <script lang=Javascript> window.open( '../Reports/ShowReport.aspx?reportId=b112af95-5952-4569-adc9-db717776573 7' ,'b112af9559524569adc9db7177765737' ,'width=450, height=450, resizable=1, scrollbars=1' ); </script> ..... page 2 (Go get that crazy PDF file) Request:   GET /something/Reports/ShowReport.aspx?reportId=b112af95-5952-4569-adc9-db71 77765737 HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-us Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; iOpus-I-M; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; InfoPath.1) Host: something.com Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Cookie: [redacted cookie data] [redacted cookie data] [redacted cookie data]     Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:29:07 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Cache-Control: private Content-Type: application/pdf   150c %PDF-1.3% 1  0 obj [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI] endobj 3 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 2 0 R /MediaBox [0 0 612.000071 792.000092] /Contents 4 0 R /Resources << /ProcSet 1 0 R /XObject << >> /Font << /F5 5 0 R /F6 6 0 R /F7 7 0 R >> >> /Annots [ 8 0 R ] >> endobj 4 0 obj << /Length 3928 /Filter /FlateDecode    >> stream x&#65533;&#65533;\&#65533;s&#65533;_&#65533;L&#65533;_<:&#65533;9__&#655 33; ….
