Customizable advisor settings

An additional feature available since WebSphere Edge Components V5.0 is that you are now able to customize advisor settings for the HTTP and HTTPS advisors. This enables an administrator to set a request type and expected response header per server without writing any code. For example, you can request a different request such as GET /index.html and parse the response for the intended header.

An example would be:

dscontrol>>server set :80:was5-d advisorrequest "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 
myhost.raleigh.ibm.com\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\n"

dscontrol>>server set :80:was5-c advisorresponse "200"

The HTTPS advisor fully negotiates an SSL connection and issues the request/response encrypted to the backend server.

Customizable advisors are an alternative to the custom advisors (discussed in Custom advisors) when you don't need the extensive functionality that the custom advisors give you.
