Actually, it looks like it's not so much an issue with the max length for
the URL, as it is for *any* line in bb-hosts. I started writing an
extension script to do the content checking, and even that is getting the
URL truncated. The problem appears that everything past 464 characters from
the "#" in the bb-hosts file for any host is discarded.
As far as I can tell, there is no environment variable or setting that I can
change in the config file to change this. Anyone else have any ideas?

Also on a related, though different note, are a few other tests that I
can't get the "content" column to show up. These URLs are of the form:

The http check is working fine, but it seems like hobbit is ignoring the
fact that I have it set up as a content check. The bb-hosts line for this
test looks like:
1.2.3.4 test-name # DESC:"Test description" noconn nosslcert cont;<URL
above>;Success badhttp:1:2:3
I also just noticed that for these tests, bbtest is complaining "content-check,
but no content-data in <bb-hosts line above>". However, if I manually go to
the URL in a browser, it does indeed return "content-data", and it returns
in a timely fashion (about 2 or 3 seconds). Any ideas?
I apologize if this is a duplicate email, but it looks like from my end
that something didn't post correctly...
Anyway, I figured out why I'm getting this error. From the bb-network.logfile:
2007-12-24 23:14:28 content-check, but no content-data in 'cont;https://USERNAME:PASSWORD at HOSTNAME:9212/monitoring/MonitorControlServlet?monitorName=com.company.common.util.monitoring.URLMonitor&url=https://HOSTNAME:9212/LBListener/MessageReceiver&fullDisplay=true&isPost=true&TLSAction=hotelearningssummaryextract&TLSService=HotelEarnings&payload=
<https://USERNAME:PASSWORD at hostname:9212/monitoring/MonitorControlServlet?monitorName=com.company.common.util.monitoring.URLMonitor&url=https://HOSTNAME:9212/LBListener/MessageReceiver&fullDisplay=true&isPost=true&TLSAction=hotelearningssummaryextract&TLSService=HotelEarnings&payload=><TLSBatchRQ><Parameters><Parameter';
So it appears the full URL from the bb-hosts file is getting truncated.
The limit looks to be around 370 (or at least more than 256), and I can't
find anywhere to override this, so it appears to be hard-coded without
looking through the actual code.
