Hi, thanks ssax, if the response is '200' return an 'application/Json'; if the response is a '4XX' or '5xx' code is a text/Xml

I am a begginner doing this so, i have much to learn.

depending on your requirements, it may be possible to do this with check_http as well

Hi Scott thanks for the reply, yes, but the services return and receive encripted the data. In other forum recommend me that use a bash with cURL.

Ya that's going to make it difficult, you are going to need to code something up that can decipher the enc data so you can get what you need.
