Re: request URL from a specified IP address

[williams554]

When I read your post you seem to be asking, "I want to test many IP addresses for a URL (or URI)" because you were thinking you could accomplish this by just editing the /etc/hosts file and then test. If I've read you're problem correctly then something like this would work or get you started.

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

my @IP = qw/ 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2/;
my $url = '/home/index.html';

foreach (@IP) {
    print "TESTING: $_$url\n";
    my $reply = get("http://$_$url");
    #test reply here, etc...
    
}

another way:

I would probably put all of my IPs in a file:

192.168.1.1

192.168.1.2

etc ...

and call it ip.txt

#!/usr/bin/perl 
# test_url.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;
my $ip="";

my $url = '/home/index.html';

while(defined($ip=<STDIN>)) {
 my $reply = get("http://$ip$url");
 warn "couldn't get $ip$url\n" unless defined $reply;
}

and then cat ip.txt | test_url.pl Something like this... Good luck, Rob
