Re: Proxy

[Philip Waters]

Confessed relative newbie on this. I know that the syntax is wrong, but 
that is what I'm hoping for help on.

Consider the case that I'm local.mydomain.com, I have configured 
http_proxy with export http_proxy="myproxy.mydomain.com:80"

I would like to verify that my buddy's external public domain is 
working. my request that initiates from local has to traverse 
myproxy.mydomain.com to check.

here is my proposed monit rule

check host my.buddy.com
  if failed port 80 proto http
      with target "http://my.buddy.com:80"; and maxforward 6
      then alert

I get a syntax error, (probably the with target, but I pulled this from 
the sip example.

What's a better way?
