Hello KS-Soft/Alex,

Question: i have a lot of servers to monitor and would like to get in certain cases an SMS message.

I have an account at voipbuster and can receive SMS messages from this service.
Now, when i have a test in hostmon i want the hostmon when test result is failed to do this URL: "https://myaccount.voipbuster.com/clx/sendsms.php?username=username&password=password&from=00316123456789&to= 00316123456789&text=server 1 is down" , but this doesn't work.

I get this as a reply in log:
Error: Cannot send data to https://myaccount.voipbuster.com/clx/sendsms.php?username=username&password=password&from=00316123456789&to=00316123456789&text=server 1 is down (TCP port 80). Valid name, no data record of requested type

How can i do this?

(Please note that all usernames and phonenumbers are scrambled)

Please Help, thanks a lot if this can work!
Regards,
Marcel.

Sorry this cannot work because "HTTP request" action does not support HTTPS requests. Only HTTP

Nooooo... only http, no luck for me.

Thanks for your quick reply, will search for another option or try to get it in http.

Regards,
Marcel

Hi,

Is a https action on your the Hostmonitor roadmap?

When no:
Is there another way how to send a sms via http?
(Since voipbuster only uses https)
