Displaying a file instead of downloading it Options

[Loonatic]

Good day to all,

Im trying to do a health check webpage, which is checking a few URL for specific wording and displaying the results.

Here is my issue,

I am having some problems with some of the URL which return a file to download instead of displaying it in the browser. When i enter my URL, it ask me to either open or save.

In console with cURL, i am able to display the data with a command similar to this : curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9000/monitor/health?nice=true'

The result look like this

{
"name" : "localhost",
"status" : "red",
"timed_out" : false,
"number_of_nodes" : 1,
"number_of_data_nodes" : 1,
"active_primary" : 1,
"active_vm" : 5,
"relocating_vm" : 0,
"initializing_vm" : 1,
"unassigned_vm" : 4
}

How can i get my webpage to display or echo this result ?

Any help will be appreciated.

What are you using to check those URLs? A scripting language, iframes, Ajax?

Is that a javascript object? In that case you also need a script that can use it. Perhaps you can load it with a SCRIPT element, like this:

CODE

<script src="http://localhost:9000/monitor/health?nice=true"></script>
<script>
// something that uses the embedded JS goes here
</script>

Or you might use Ajax to send the GET request.
