I'm trying to give a little resiliency to reporting on an Outlook Web
Access server that intermittently returns bad https results without
visibly disrupting user services.  "badhttps" doesn't seem to be working
for me.  I have:

xx.xxx.xx.xxx   webmail.example.com # noconn noping
https://webmail.vita.example.com/Exchweb/bin/auth/owalogon.asp
badhttps:2:3:5 \
  COMMENT:"external prod Shared E-mail Web Interface"

IP and hostname are of course obfuscated.  It's on two lines, as indicated
by the "\".  But it still appears to go red on a single https failure. 
Can anyone out there point out my error?

Never done badhttps but are you sure \ works in bb-hosts?

Hi,

I am pretty sure that there is no such thing as badhttps only badhttp.
Just try without the 's' and it should work.
At least for my servers I have the badhttp even for https URLs and it is
working as expected.

Yes. I've used it to set off COMMENT and NOCOLUMN lines for years.

What DOESN'T work is "badhttps".  It's "badhttp", even for https.  Just
got it working.
