Henrik, Are there any plans to consolidate the (for example) imap and imaps tests into one column like the http tests are? This would lessen the clutter I seem to have with all my tests. -- -mike

No definite plans, but it is probably one of the things that I'll take a look at after the 4.2 release. I too have some systems with lots of custom tests, and the displays do get very wide when all the columns have to be shown. My idea currently is to keep individual statuses, but collapse some of the columns into "super-columns" that expand when you click on them. So you could e.g. have your pop3+pop3s+imap+imaps+smtp columns collapsed into one "mail" column. Regards, Henrik

In a similar vein, have you considered automaticlly running sslcert checks against services that reply with STARTLS? Possibly an "options startls" in bb-services where if a banner replies with the STARTLS string, the cert is also checked? -- -mike

Yes, the current network tester cannot handle that kind of dialogue where you have to connect with a plain-text connection, issue a STARTLS command, then switch to talking SSL. I hope to make the network tester more advanced so it can do a real protocol exchange, also supporting the STARTLS command. Regards, Henrik
