[Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites

[Jewel Makda]

I am runnng Ubuntu 11.04.
I ran:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
I also reran configure using the following command:
sudo ./configure.server --pcreinclude /usr/inlcude --pcrelib /usr/lib 
--sslinclude /usr/include --ssllib /usr/include

It found the SSL libraries and asked if I want to enable SSL and I said 
yes.  I then ran Make and Make Install successfully. I then restarted 
Apache and Xymon but it still fails when I ask it to monitor a website 
using https.
