Web Transaction URL Field

The Web Transaction URL field is used to provide the full URL to the webpage you would like us to test. The URL should match the URL used to access the page in a standard web browser. The valid URLs contain the following parts: HTTP protocol, domain (or IP), custom port number, file path and query string. Below are examples of various URLs:

Example 1: http://www.google.com/

Example 2: http://www.google.com/dir/default.aspx

Example 3: http://www.google.com:8080/dir/default.aspx?var=100

• http:// = Protocol - this part of the URL defines what protocol we should use to connect to your server. The default protocol is http:// while secure sites use https://.

• www.google.com = Domain/IP - this part of the URL defines the address of the server you want us to connect to for the test. You can either enter an IP address or a domain name.

• :8080 = Port - this part of the URL is optional and defines the customer port number you want us to connect to on your server when testing your web page. The default port for the HTTP protocol is port 80, however some servers use different port numbers.

• /dir/default.aspx = File Path - the part of the URL defines the path and file name that defines the location of the file on the server you want us to test

• ?var=100 = Query String - this part of the URL defines the query string of variables that you want to use to pass to the page.
