RE: [squid-users] Heath Check HTTP Request to Squid

What I have done is configured the load balancers to do a GET on a bogus
URL:

GET http://health.check/please/ignore

Then, to ignore these requests to prevent log spam:

acl healthcheck dstdomain health.check
log_access deny healthcheck

Thanks,

Josh

Subject: [squid-users] Heath Check HTTP Request to Squid

I need to configure a pair of load balancers in front of Squid to send
periodic health HTTP requests to my Squid servers to make sure they are
up and functioning properly. How should I structure this HTTP request?
A "GET /" results in an invalid-request. What type of request can I use
that will differentiate its self from normal proxied requests and not
cause Squid to bark at me for it being invalid?

Thanks
