check_http find string in iframe

Hi!
Thanks in advance!

I would like to search for a string in an iframe from url with check_http but I can do it. I usually use this to find a string in "normal" http content:

Code: Select all

check_http -H host -u <URI> -f follow -s <string>

but if the page returns the content in an iframe, the plugin can't find it.

Could someone tell me how to do it?

Thanks!

Is there something preventing you from running check_http against the iframe's source directly? Rather than the page that attempts to render it in-line?

I don't think check_http (or cURL for that matter) can be made to render iframes.

Here's a test.html page I loaded up onto a test site of mine:

Code: Select all

<html lang="en-US" style="height: 100%;"><head>
<title>HTML Iframes</title>
</head>
foo
<iframe src="bar.html" title="Test" height="350px" width="99%"></iframe>
</html>

And here's the content of the iframe I'm embedding:

Code: Select all

bar

check_http just doesn't render the iframe's content

Code: Select all

# ./check_http -H test.site.com -u /test.html  -v
GET /test.html HTTP/1.1

You would need to leverage something like webinject, or a webdriver with something like Selenium, to get iframes to render.
