SSL Certificate check through HTTPS Proxy

Post by mightaswelby »

Has anyone had any luck doing a check_http -S $HOSTNAME -C 60, 30 certificate check through a https proxy? I am looking for a solution to monitor external ssl certificates, and have not been able to find a solution.

If your proxy provides an intermediary certificate so that it may decipher the traffic, there is no way from behind that proxy you would be able to check the external cert, at least that I know of. Otherwise a little more detail on what and how you are trying to do this, and the environment you have to go through would go a long ways!
