For systems that don't have curl or wget, it may be possible to use openssl to achieve the same result. This works for me:
XYMONSERVER=xymon.example.com
MSG="status hostname.example.com.linux red date bogon check has failed"
MSG="$MSG\r\n"
MSGLEN=${#MSG}
printf "POST /xymon-cgi/xymoncgimsg.cgi HTTP/1.0\r\nHost:
$XYMONSERVER\r\nContent-Length: $MSGLEN\r\n\r\n${MSG}\r\n"; } | openssl
s_client -quiet -connect $XYMONSERVER:443 2>/dev/null | sed '1,/^\r$/d'

Hi,
This will send the data over https + protect it with username/password:
Create server/cgi-binpas directory
Copy or symlink xymoncgimsg.cgi in that directory
Create etc/htpasswd file with the htpasswd command
Add this to xymon-apache.conf (replace <installdir> with the correct full path) and restart apache: ScriptAlias /xymon-cgipas/ "<installdir>/server/cgi-binpas/" <Directory "<installdir>/server/cgi-binpas"> Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymLinks AuthType Basic AuthName "Monitoring Client' AuthUserFile "<installdir>/server/etc/htpasswd" Require valid-user </Directory>
Use this in the xml configiration file on the windows client: <serverUrl>https://x.x.x.x/xymon-cgipas/xymoncgimsg.cgi</serverUrl> <serverHttpUsername>client</serverHttpUsername> <serverHttpPassword>client</serverHttpPassword>
For Linux or AIX, I have some scripts and config files as drop-in replacement for the xymon binary based on wget or curl. If you are interested, I can send it off-list.

Can anyone advise on the method to have the Debian xymon-client send its data to the Server using SSL instead of port 1984?
Thanks so much
