Hi all,
In Hobbit 4.2.0 is there a way to set up a test from an internal network to test http of an outside host, such as a DSL router? Cavaet: A proxy server is required to get out and also the DSL is a dynamic IP. This is on Solaris 10.
I currently have a line similar to this in the bbhost file. NSLOOKUP to the real host name works but ping fails (of course) since there is no host file entry.
0.0.0.0 DSL1 # noconn https://dsl1.dyndns.biz:8080
Can anyone provide a detailed example of how to accomplish this?
Dunno about using proxies in Hobbit web tests, but I've had a lot of success with external scripts using curl:
curl -x http://proxy.domain.com:80/ -o page.html https://dsl1.dyndns.biz:8080
then examine page.html to see if it contains something you expect to see.
