[smokeping-users] Downloading with Curl

[Mostro Mostro]

Hello all,

I had my first introduction to Smokeping today. Very nice.. I still have a
lot to read though.

My main objective is to monitor the bandwidth (out-of-band) of three high
priority download servers.

Two of the servers require authentication and the third is open if you have
the direct path.

Anyway, I am able to download an 8MB test file from the two authenticated
servers but not the third server.

Curl is just downloading the header. From the command line Curl defaults to
downloading the entire file. From Smokeping it does not.

Here is my config:

** PROBES **

+Curl
binary = /usr/bin/curl
forks = 5
offset = 50%
step = 120
pings = 3
timeout = 60
urlformat = http://%host%/ # mandatory


** TARGETS **


## Authentication Required
+ SERVER1
menu = SERVER1
title = SERVER1
probe = Curl
host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
urlformat = http://%host%/file.zip
extraargs = --user user:password


## NO Authentication Required
+ SERVER2
menu = SERVER2
title = SERVER2
probe = Curl
host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
urlformat = http://%host%/file.zip

Here you will notice the first round first site just grabs the header info.
The next site works as anticipated.
