Hi Jan, thanks for your answer! I was negatively surprised by check_http since (nearly?) every other SSL/TLS implementation will at least warn about not checking specific things you'd expect from a sane/full implementation or explicitly mention it in the docs. Explicitly pointing out that this plugin will _ONLY_ verify the expiry date of the certificate should prevent surprises for other people in the future. best, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
