Danny, I don't think it's supported. The original proxy support only included HTTP, not HTTPS. The ability to specify a proxy for https checks appears to be so that the proxy can be sent a URL and will give a response, thus testing the proxy, rather than the service at the URL. I don't think there have been any updates to the code since (at least as of 4.3.30).

Cheers Jeremy

Trying to get https testing working via proxy and works fine via curl but xymon reports proxy 501 not implemented errors so I assume its showing up malformed. I see in sourceforce release notes a fix from 4.2 > 4.2.2 for this related to Debian but I am running above this (4.3.17)

snip:

Changes from 4.2.0 -> 4.2.2 =========================== *) Patches from Debian and Mandriva source archives and elsewhere have been merged, fixing: - The bb-hosts syntax for HTTP testing via a proxy could not support https target-URL's (from Debian)

Thx in advance Danny
