I have just upgraded to v8.14 and a test that worked previously is now coming back as "BAD". Settings are as follows (details obfuscated for security):
Test running on Hostmonitor server
HTTP test to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8445/OA_HTML/cabo/images/yyyyyy-laf-desktop/zzzzz-welcome.jpg
Request "HEADER"
Timeout 0
Proxy set to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8090

As i said this worked prior to upgrade and if i try to access the URL from a browser i get it OK.

Any ideas please?

You said this test worked before update?? HTTP test method never supported HTTPS protocol, just HTTP. May be you are using URL test method?
Otherwise I think this problem has nothing to do with HostMonitor update. Probably you changed your web server (or proxy server) settings so it does not respond to HTTP requests on port 8445 (8090) anymore

I appreciate what you are saying but here is an entry from my logs showing it as successful:

</tr> <tr>
<td bgcolor="#D6D6D6" nowrap valign="top" align="center">&nbsp;<font color=#000000><!--KSIM--><!--KSFD-02072009234156-->2009-07-02 11:41:56 PM<!--KSIM--></font>&nbsp;</td>

</tr> <tr>

The proxy and web server are both forwarding as expected as i can get to the page through a browser.

If you want to check HTTPS server, please use URL test method.
HTTP test method does not support HTTPS protocl and never supported

It may not have supported it but it certainly worked. I would be happy to use the URL method but there is no option on this test method to support different proxies to the one globally defined. Could this be added as an enhancement in a later release?

It depends on security mode on your web server. Some web servers acceps http requests along with https. "HTTP" test method only sends HTTP requests, even if you specify HTTPS URL.

Yeah, you are right. Different proxy settings are only available for "HTTP" test method. Ok, we have such a task in our to do list. Medium priority.

Well, HTTP test did not work with HTTPS protocol. Never! It just does not contain necessary code.
If your server responded to HTTP request on port 8445, this does not mean your web or proxy server used HTTPS protocol to process request from HostMonitor.
Yes, we can add new options and functions to URL and HTTP tests however I cannot assign high priority to these tasks. Sorry. May be we will do this in version 9.

On the other hand, if you need to check different proxies, why can't you use HTTP protocol?
