Summary: check_http-with-client-certificate and more...

Initial Comment:
This plugin is a rewrite of the existing check_http.c
and additionally implements the following features:

* check server certificate against supplied hostname
(Host: header) if any
* check server certificate against local CA
certificates (as browsers do)
* authenticate with client certificate (and optional
passphrase)
* specify HTTP returncodes to return a status of
WARNING or OK instead of CRITICAL (only global for 3xx
or 4xx errors)
* check only against HTTP status line and exit
immediately if not matched

This plugin code can be compiled as a replacement for
the existing check_http.c. 

As discussed with Subhendu Ghosh it is meant to be
integrated with the existing plugin code. In the
meantime feel free to use and test the plugin...

It is mainly tested with Solaris 2.6 and 8 and also
with Red Hat Linux 6.x and 7.x. As I remember I have
not yet compiled the plugin without OpenSSL, so this
may not work.

Feel free to post your feedback to the nagiosplug-devel
list.

Fabian

Thank you very much for contributing to Nagios plugin
development.

There has been a lot of recent check_http activity with
various SSL improvements, although check_http still does not
have the function of your contributions.

At this point, the code will not get merged into the core
check_http (or perhaps check_http merged into yours).

The plugin is in /contrib with your file name.

Sorry that you have had so long to wait for any acknowledgement.

Thank you,
