wget, reverse web cache testing
This is a highly specialized note, but it might be helpful as a test idea for more general use cases. I have a bluecoat web proxy serving as a reverse proxy for some images on our web site. A citrix netscaler sits in front of the bluecoats and distributes the load the bluecoats. We use Qradar as our SEIM and this is how I test one of the bluecoats using "live" data: Start by getting a cvs text file of successful queries from Qradar (i.e. run a search, export the raw events as CSV. transform log into generic URLS: sed -e 's/^.*PROXIED //' 2010-05-26-data_export.csv| awk '{ print $7 "://" $8 ":" $9$10 } ' | grep "^http" > /tmp/1 : use the computed URLS and run against the bluecoat: for LINE in `cat /tmp/1`; do http_proxy=http: //BLUECOAT001:80 wget "$LINE" ; done : Run against comparative bluecoat: for LINE in `cat /tmp/1`; do http_proxy=http: //BLUECOAT002:80 wget "$LINE" ; done : Compare the
