New HTTP Test Tool on ISATools.org
From Jim Harrison:
http_test.zip is the latest in a long line of kewl tewls for your ISA pleasure. It was born out of too many people trying to test their ISA publishing using a browser.
This tool allows you to test http connections to and through your ISA and Web services without all the caching and vagaries of various browsers.
There are lots of command-line options and it makes use of only three script objects:
- WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 (to handle the HTTP traffic)
- Scripting.FileSystemObject (to handle the logging)
- Scripting.Shell (to handle environment variables)
http://isatools.org/tools/http_test.zip is the direct link, but you’ll also find it in each ISA category, since it’s completely unrelated to ISA.
‘cscript http_test.wsf ?’ for instructions..
HTH,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Looks like yet another handy tool from Jim…
I regularly use WFetch from the IIS 6.0 Resouce Kit Tools.
It allows very flexible HTTP queries and even supports SSL.
Both request and response headers and body are displayed in a colour coded log output.
Available free from Microsoft here:

Hi,
I am using ISA server on Windows 2003 and facing a weird problem. When I use WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 to access any HTTP or HTTPS site, the web page give “Internal Server Error”.
Do you have any ideas? Is there setting I am missing in ISA?
Your help is much appriciated
Thanks
Prateek

Hi,
I have used your utility and found then, this perfactly work for any HTTP request but when I give a request fo HTTPS, I am getting following error
** Error 0×80072F06 encountered during request for https://mail.yahoo.com; The host name in the certificate is invalid or does not match
I was using https://mail.yahoo.com and it give me above error but if I use http://mail.yahoo.com then it works fine.
Am I missing on some setting on ISA server for HTTPS?
