[Xymon] Any known issues with https testing via proxy

[Jeremy Laidman]

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).

A bit more here:

Cheers
Jeremy
