Subject: [sysmon-help] Support to monitor https?
Message-ID: <YtCP+u7JOoaVBgip@dismail.de>

Hi there,

I've been using sysmon for quite a while now and I really
like it for its efficiency and minimalism.

One thing I've always been missing though:
the ability to monitor websites ("website content") via https.

The doc [1] describes a test-type "www" which allows to do
this, however, for port 80 only.

Now I'm wondering, is there a chance that sysmon
would ever see an update to support https?

How hard would it be to implement?

Or is there a particular reason why it was not included
from the beginning?

I did have a look at the source code and found:

---
/*http.c,v 1.22 2006/05/09 03:26:41 jared Exp $ */
---

So it's been a while.

Thank you very much,

Fox Steward

I think someone may have sent me a patch for it a long time ago. Happy that you are still using my code but very surprised to see this today. 

It's not hard I don't think but might block the parallel checking model if done wrong, I guess that's up to you to accept that risk. 

Let me see if I can find the patch.
