check_http and proxy

[Frost, Mark {PBC}]

I had this same issue (trying to check sites with SSL through a proxy).  Unfortunately, it appears that the issue is that check_http does not support the 'CONNECT' tunneling protocol that our proxy servers require for that service.

I'm not really sure what other options exist to do this.  Like, for instance if WWW::Mechanize would allow it either.  I wish check_http did, though.

Hi,

You could try to use --ssl in the check.

check_http --ssl -H my.proxy -p my_proxy_port -u http://my.website

Greetings,

Hi list,

I'm trying to check some web applications through a proxy with
check_http (version 1.4.13).

I googled it and found that, with version 1.4.8, it might be possible to
try this
( http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg11186.html ) :

check_http -H my.proxy -p my_proxy_port -u http://my.website

Unfortunately, I have to access my application through HTTPS. So I tried
with

check_http -H my.proxy -p my_proxy_port -u https://my.website -vvv

And I obtained this message : 
> GET https://my.website HTTP/1.0
> User-Agent: check_http/v2053 (nagios-plugins 1.4.13)
> Connection: close
> Host: my.proxy:my_proxy_port
>
>
> http://my.proxy:my_proxy_porthttps://my.website
> STATUS: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
> [....]

Does soemone know how I should deal with this ?

Thank you,

Marc-André
