Since I see Henrik is around and answered somewhat of a similar question
as pertained to the logs test (welcome back? or is surgery still in the
future?), I hope that you might also weigh in on this one. From my read
of the docs, I might be out of luck (or have the option of using the
"ports" test to make sure http is not available, but I believe that is a
local test not a network test, yes?).

Tried it out. Does not work that way. I guess the best I might be able
to do so far is testing for port 80/443 not to be active. Interestingly
enough, !http://URL/ is red if down, meaning it seems to just ignore the !.

I haven't tried it for http, but since !telnet works to test that telnet
is NOT up, I would think it would work for http as well. For https, you
have to give it a url anyway, so include the port in the urls and put an
! in front of the one you want to be down. Right?

Hi folks,
Read the docs and it's not clear to me -- is there a way to specify that
http should be down? Similarly, is there some kind of way to say that
https should be available on one port, but another port should not be?
Would I have to instead use the ports test (undesirable here -- load
balanced host and nothing to run an agent on).
Thanks for your help in advance. I run 4.2.x but info about 4.3.x if
different would be helpful too.
