For systems that don't have curl or wget, it may be possible to use openssl
to achieve the same result. This works for me:
XYMONSERVER=xymon.example.com
MSG="status hostname.example.com.linux red `date` bogon check has failed"
MSG="$MSG\r\n"
MSGLEN=${#MSG}
printf "POST /xymon-cgi/xymoncgimsg.cgi HTTP/1.0\r\nHost:
$XYMONSERVER\r\nContent-Length: $MSGLEN\r\n\r\n${MSG}\r\n"; } | openssl
s_client -quiet -connect $XYMONSERVER:443 2>/dev/null | sed '1,/^\r$/d'

Hi,
This will send the data over https + protect it with username/password:
- Create server/cgi-binpas directory
- Copy or symlink xymoncgimsg.cgi in that directory
- Create etc/htpasswd file with the htpasswd command
- Add this to xymon-apache.conf (replace <installdir> with the correct
full path) and restart apache:
ScriptAlias /xymon-cgipas/ "<installdir>/server/cgi-binpas/"
<Directory "<installdir>/server/cgi-binpas">
Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymLinks
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Monitoring Client'
AuthUserFile "<installdir>/server/etc/htpasswd"
Require valid-user
</Directory>
- Use this in the xml configiration file on the windows client:
<serverUrl>https://x.x.x.x/xymon-cgipas/xymoncgimsg.cgi</serverUrl>;
<serverHttpUsername>client</serverHttpUsername>
<serverHttpPassword>client</serverHttpPassword>
For Linux or AIX, I have some scripts and config files as drop-in
replacement for the xymon binary based on wget or curl. If you are
interested, I can send it off-list.

Thanks so much
