I upgraded our xymon install from 4.3.17 to 4.3.24 and everything was
very smooth, so thank you very much!

However, I'm seeing some strange issues with http codes that worked fine
before and now throw red alarms. I have 1 server that throws a red when
checking an https url: https://server:8443/
It is covered in the release notes:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.22/
The default rules for HTTP response codes have been simplified and made more
generic:
    1xx = Warning (when the final code received)
    2xx = OK
    3xx = Warning (except 302/303/307 = OK)
    4xx = Critical
    5xx = Critical

The specific changes from previous versions are:
 - 401 and 403 response codes are now considered Critical (were OK)
 - 301 Permanent Redirect response code is now considered a Warning (was OK)
 - "Extended" or new HTTP status codes in the 4xx and 5xx range
   are now considered Critical (unknown codes were previously a Warning
If you would like a return code of 401 to return green instead of red, 
use the "httpstatus" test rather than the "http" test.
