Check form allows the user to submit forms using post and test the output for a string. This can be useful to test authentication boxes or any other forms that use the POST method. Check form can also test the response time of the form and produce timing information for Nagios performance monitoring.

-u # url string to post form data against
-e # string to query on the authenticated page
-f # post string
-c # the number of seconds to wait before a going critical
-w # the number of seconds to wait before a flagging a warning
-n do not follow redirection

-s prints status code (debugging info)
e.g check_form.pl -u https://foobar.com -f "login=foo&password=bar" -e "Hello sweetie" -c 10 -w 3 -v

any chance to pass user agent string?
byideal2545, July 12, 2017
The app we use checks the browser and it returns 'browser not supported' - any chance you can add in a user agent string paramater?
a bug of State change
bymaxidea, March 23, 2011
It was a useful script but one bug found.
When we get a authentication failed , the "CRITICAL" will show on the message. But the state of Nagios was not changed! The state of Nagios was OK. So I hope it can be fixed at next release. Thanks!
