Health check curl example

[Marc Roos]

How do I check the standard script then on this port 5001 from the 
command line?


This one of alpine linux also does not have it yet
bash-5.0# dovecot --version
2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b)

Yes. The passthrough option is rather new.

	bash-5.0# /bin/health-check.sh 
	HTTP/1.1 200 OK 
	Connection: keep-alive 

	OK

	Your health check script should implement HTTP protocol. Then you 
can 
	use passthrough mode and use cURL. 

	The provided script does not speak HTTP.

	From 
	the commandline it works fine when I type a PING I get a PONG. But 
	how 
	do I do a curl to this 5001 port? 

	Tried something like this: 

	bash-5.0# curl http://localhost:5001/ 
	curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer 

	bash-5.0# curl http://localhost:5001/PING 
	curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
