in reply to www::scripter & javascript frame

If you are in network operations, why not get a network trace to see what actually goes over the wire? Also consider the Mozilla Live Headers to see a lisg of HTTP requests being made. Most likely, the login information is being passed via cookie and you can simply request the "login frame" directly, just like your browwser does.

    Hi Corion

    Live HTTP Headers gave me the clue; using the std nagios check_http http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_http I just amended the -u option to specify the fuller path to the frame instead of just the front page & it worked like a charm.
    :)
    I owe you a beer ...

    PS If there is a way to mark this as solved, please do. In the meantime I'll edit the title of this reply

    Hi Corion,
    thx; I'll look into it.

    Incidentally, would www:scripter be the correct soln, or is there something better? I'm not deep into any code right now, so changing is not an issue.

    To clarify for anyone else, what I should have said is that although the browser sees the the whole page, inc login frame in the middle of the page just fine, 'Show source' just shows the surrounding html, but not the login frame at all... Thought I was going mad for while there ;)

    Cheers
