<body dir="ltr" style="font-size:12pt;color:#000000;background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<p>I tested this and have the same result. The xymon user does pick up the system $http_proxy setting (or $https_proxy for that matter) but it looks like xymonnet ignores it. When I've had to test something through a proxy server, I've setup another test (call
it phttps or whatever), and I run an ext script, something like this:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>TEST="phttps"<br>
</p>
<p>$XYMONHOME/bin/xymongrep $TEST | while read L<br>
do<br>
set $L # To get one line of output from xymongrep<br>
HOSTIP="$1"<br>
MACHINEDOTS="$2"<br>
MACHINE=`echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'`<br>
</p>
<p> curl --max-time 30 <a href="http://$MACHINEDOTS">http://$MACHINEDOTS</a> > $XYMONHOME/tmp/$MACHINEDOTS.$$<br>
</p>
<p> etc, etc, etc<br>
</p>
<p>done<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are many ways of handling the output depending on what you want to test for. curl, wget and w3m work fine.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Not the cleanest way to handle this but it does work and you can tweak it endlessly.<font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="3"></font></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope that helps...</p>

<p>Hey,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten Xymon http tests to work through an proxy server? I have to be able to set the proxy server for ALL https traffic and Xymon just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. I asked a while back and finally got to do try setting it up but the
current recommendation has the severe shortcoming that it doesn't work for https (according to the doc) and I REALLY don't want to have to add a proxy definition to every single http test.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've tried just adding "export http_proxy=myproxy:port" to the startup scripts but it seems to be ignored. Seems like an unfortunate oversight in Xymon if it's not user error. We can test for a specific ssl version but not use a proxy server? I'm having
trouble buying it (hence the likelyhood of user error).<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>thanks<br>
