[Xymon] Monitoring https pages

[Kris Springer]

What results do you get from your URL when using a standard web browser 
from a different machine?  Does the page resolve correctly? Could this 
be a firewall port issue?  What results does your Xymon Server show on 
it's web dashboard?  Is it red? Green? Not working at all?  What are 
your expected results, vs the results you're actually getting?
