ISSUE

How can I use the "check_http" with a URL that contains special characters?

(the URL would look something like this, this is not the actual URL)

http://test.testingwebsite.org/mgen/ima ... \=1\&NC\=1

You should be able to wrap the URI in single quotes, something like

Code: Select all

./check_http -H test.testingwebsite.org -u '/mgen/imagesize.ms\?args\=\%22csi\:/184228/TSSY/184228\-TSSY\_20120320\_140155\_APR\.jpg\%22\,200\,266\&JP\=1\&NC\=1'

That worked!

Earlier I must have missed one, "\" during my tests.

Thank you!
