[Xymon] HTTP Post tests

Thanks, Ralph. It's a wildcard cert. I'd forgotten that I had seen that format. I'm going to see if that makes a difference.

What does the cert have for the CN in the Subject? If it doesn't match the hostname, that's probably why you get the error. I don't know if Xymon can be told to ignore those, but the hosts.cfg man page does have a suggestion that might work. In the section "Testing sites by IP address":

    "Instead the IP-address to connect to can be overridden by

specifying it as:

        http://www.sample.com=1.2.3.4/index.html

<http://1.2.3.4/index.html>

        The "=1.2.3.4" will cause xymonnet to run the test against

the IP-address "1.2.3.4", while still trying to access the virtual website with the name "www.sample.com <http://www.sample.com>"."

Ok...now I have a new question...I'm using the IP address in my
URL and if I browse to the url it complains about the cert not
matching the url.  In curl, you can tell it to ignore cert
errors.  Is it possible to have Xymon do this?  I could've missed
it in the man page.

    I know.  Was hoping it could be done natively.

        It can be done in an external script with curl, using the
        --head option to get just the headers.

                However,
                the information I'm trying to trigger on is
                actually in the headers (as
                "Exception") and not the body.  Any way to get
                Xymon to parse headers as
                well?


            No, Xymon only looks the header "Content-type" for the
            "type" test.  All other web tests are against the
            body.  This would be a neat feature.
