Example target URLs. When creating a Send Custom HTTP GET alert action, a data handling

application such as CGI script, ASP script, or servlet, for example, must be invoked on the Web host

invoked in the Target URL, and data must be passed to the application in the proper format. The content

of the Target URL field depends on the configuration of the target server which processes the HTTP

GET. The following examples demonstrate two possible ways in which this alert action could be

configured.

Example #1. In this example, the custom HTTP GET command provides user-specified values for a

CGI script (pagersend.cgi). This custom HTTP GET would send the message

hello there, with a

subject of

test message, from mike to the specified pin (telephone number):

http://www.mymmode.com/messagecenter/pagersend.cgi?pin=512

5551212&from=mike&subject=test+message&message=hello+there

Example #2. In this example, alert data is sent to a pager using the same CGI script (pagersend.cgi) as

used in Example #1, but this time BotzWare macros dynamically generate the message content:

http://www.mymmode.com/messagecenter/pagersend.cgi?pin=512

5551212&from=${HOSTNAME}&subject=test+message&message=${SENSORNAME}+$

{SENSORVAL}+at+${ALERTPOD}

A message generated by this Target URL could read “Humidity 94% at Sensor Pod 0930261” from

“myappliance.apc.com.”
