[Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites

[Tim McCloskey]

The first thing that came to mind when I saw your re-compile message is that you did not run 'make clean' prior to adding those new options.

That said, it sounds like you did get ssl working... If ssl is working now (xymonnet --version shows the ssl libraries, etc) then I would have a look at any network or server firewalls/acls that prevent your xymon server from --> yourclient:tcp 443.

If you don't know about any rules you can try to telnet to port 443 on the client from your xymon server.  There are also some certificate options that you may need to sort out once you can speak to the remote on 443.

Sorry.  What I mean is the status turns "red" and says "Server timeout."
I am not sure is there are any logs which will help me determine what I
am missing.
