Re: [Possible protocol]

[Martin Pala]

This is just documentation misunderstand - i will fix it.

As explained yeasterday, for example the same http protocol 
implementation is used for HTTP and HTTPS. SSL is just in the transport 
layer and is enabled by the 'type tcpssl' option which enables SSL on 
the socket.


Summary:
--------
to enable HTTPS test - you have to use:

 type tcpssl protocol http

the following syntax is *not* supported by monit currently:

 protocol https
