Hi Paul.
I really have no idea if this might be the problem, but it is an easy
test to do.
I would suggest trying to run the webinject from the command line like
you have been but add a minus sign in the "su":
e.g. sudo su - nagios
The minus sign will force it to become more like a true login (the way
cron or Nagios would likely run it) and not potentially carry over your
current PATH and other environment variables.

Well after some work I found a few issues with the webinject.pl script

I introduced. Anyone new to this world like me if you need to run tests
as
the nagios user use "sudo su nagios" That will give you a shell running
under the nagios user. That took me some time to figure that out.
Unfortunately, that did not solve my problem. I can run my script under
the
nagios user without issue, but if I allow the service to run it in the
same
nature, it fails. I am perplexed so if anyone has any ideas I would
greatly
appreciate it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios and a custom webinject.pl
We just deployed a new site that requires client certificates so I
found
a discussion thread on how to make a few changes to the script so that
it
would use the client certificate that I specified. I left the original
script intact along with all the nagios configs and named this new
script
webinjectcert.pl. I wanted 2 separate scripts and configs so that I did
not
disrupt what I already had running successfully
The new script works perfectly as long as I run it manually as sudo.
The problem is when I configure it for nagios with the same script,
config
file, and test case, it returns results that claim it could not log onto
the
site. I have enabled debugging in the nagios.cfg, but I just can't see
what
the problem is. I looked at the permissions on the new script and
certificate to make sure that wasn't it and they look fine. I am not
really
sure how to run it as the nagios user since I can't remember what the
password is and don't want to make a mess and change it.
Any ideas?
Paul
