Is there a way to do this? In our environment we won't be able to convince our CA to give us a client token just so we can do health checks of our web servers (who all run 2 way SSL). I don't need to get any results from the GET request. I just need to know that a connection is being established. As it stands I end up with the standard Socket Timeout.

If you're just looking to verify that a tcp connection can be made on the port then you could use the check_tcp plugin instead.
