Hi Henrik
Might have a bug here.
In my bb-hosts, I have the following line 192.168.0.8 afgweb01 # http://afgweb01.afgonline.com.au/test
However, the http test returns green all the time, even when the service was down. When I clicked on the green diamond, I got this
---snip--- http://afgweb01.afgonline.com.au/test - OK
HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Mon, 09 May 2005 03:19:15 GMT WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate WWW-Authenticate: NTLM Connection: close Content-Length: 24 Content-Type: text/html
Seconds: 0.00 ---snip---
Should this not have been displaying as red?
Cheers Vernon

[http response 401 (Unauthorized) gives a green http status]
This is deliberate. The purpose of the test is to determine if the web server is working, and sending back a 401 status (which in a browser would trigger a pop-up to enter a username+password) is sufficient indication that the server is indeed working.
