HTTPService is not working

[thsoring]

Hi there,

in my case the httpservice check is not working.
The only option i must change is the address. When i use firefox on the agent or server-host, i can easily access the address. But jopr didn't find it at any time.
So my question:

How to correctly configure a httpService-check.
I've tested it with several configurations, but nothing worked.
Must i configure something more, than the data in the httpservice at the jopr server?

Server- and Agent-Version: 2.3.1
Both on Solaris-Zones.
Don't no what to do now.
Please help me.
I've changed only url and 'follow redirects'(Yes) - the rest is default.

Thanks for your help...

Hello,

what options did you set?

Did you have a look at the agent.log for errors?

note: I change the parrent= to xxxx in this log for privacy reason.

I'm using Red Hat Linux 4 with Java jdk1.5.0_21 (32 bit)

Thanks for reporting.

It looks like when upgrading from commons-httpclient 2 to c-h 3, apache split out commons-codec, which was missed in our upgrade.

See bug 568275

As a workaround you can unzip netservices-plugin, put

commons-codec-1.2.jar into its lib directory, zip the plugin up again and
deploy via RHQ server.

Confirmed! It works as described.

Attached the modified plugin. I renamed it to rhq-netservices-plugin-1.3.2.jar
