Apache2 monitoring for https using perl script.

[Shivaramakrishnan]

Hi,
I am a newbie to zabbix and I am trying to get the monitoring implemented to our web servers through zabbix.
I got the perl script from zabbix forums (attached the script) and I tested it on my http test site.
my($url)="http://<ip>/server-status?auto";
works perfectly.getting all the values as desired.

But wanted to know if this would work for the following options:
my($url)="https://<ip>/server-status?auto";
my($url)="https://abc.com/server-status?auto";

Assuming I have only this in my apache2.conf file on which I want the stats for

ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from <zabbix_server ip>
</Location>


Can someone please let me know what I need to modify in the script to implement https.Any help is greatly appreciated.I need to get this working as I have many webservers and I don't have any monitoring going on for it.

Im not a perl guru, but as far as I know LWP::Simple does not support SSL.

Maybe this could be a starting point for further research: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=20225
