[Xymon] HTTPS access to Xymon web pages

Hi Neil,

I think you can view it from different points of view:

-blocking network traffic that is not HTTPS (using AWS SG & Net ACL)

-configure your webserver to allow only HTTPS

-configure your webserver to redirect/rewrite requests from HTTP to HTTPS

I'm not familiar with Terabithia RPM, but documentation seems to focus 
on Apache HTTP server. If this is the webserver you are planning to use, 
this can be done easily using a permanent redirect on virtualhost's root 
directory:

Redirect permanent / https://my_xymon_host.net/ #Replace with the right FQDN

As you can see, Xymon is not involved at any time, because (AFAIK) this 
is just an engine working in background and presenting the results via 
HTML content, through a third party HTTP/HTTPS server.

Hope this help,
Damien
