[Nagiosplug-devel] Suggestion for the check_http plugin

[Aleksandar Kanchev]

Hello,

The check_http plugin is missing proxy support. This is OK when an url 
can be tested without SSL. But when the URL is accessible only via https 
and the only way to connect is through a proxy server, check_http fails. 
So does wget btw, because GET https://.... is not supported.
My suggestion for a new feature is to make check_http support proxy 
CONNECT requests.

Thanks,
Aleksandar
