check_http ssl certificate

[Lundgren, Scott]

Do you know why the browser is prompting about the certificate when you
access the URL through your browser? Does the certificate match or is it
expired? 

you may have to look through the source of the check_http plug-in and to
see how it handles SSL certificate negotiation. On one hand it could
blindly trust any certificate. On the other hand like a browser the
plugin could consult some file for manually accepted & stored
certificates or simply exit if the certificate doesn't is
expired/doesn't match.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_http ssl certificate

Hi all-

A web server was recently upgraded, and my check_http --ssl service is
now failing.

The server is sending a certificate when accessing through a browser.  
How can I
accept the certificate; either permanently through the nagios user cmd
line, or through flags to check_http?

'check_http --ssl H xyzxyz -C 14' works fine to see the expiration...

I did read a recent thread that suggested the servers http config be
changed, but I don't have access/approval to change the server config.

Thanks for reading!

Nagios 1.2 (I'll be upgrading soon)

$ ./check_http -H xyzxyz --ssl -f=follow -v GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: check_http/1.89 (nagios-plugins 1.4.3)
Host: xyzxyz

No data received
