   Thanks to the help of another list member who contacted me off list I
tried it with a different syntax (had to shorten the password to simply
"open" because the space created problems):

> if failed (url

> with content == 'alarms') then alert

   This works and results in:

> 'uri.to.check' succeeded connecting to
> INET[1.2.3.4:443/LOG0/FAULT/mod_cmd.xml?cmd=something] via TCPSSL
> HTTP: Regular expression matches

   However, the syntax from the monit manual:

> if failed host 1.2.3.4 port 443 type tcpssl protocol http http
> headers [Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVu] and request
> /LOG0/FAULT/mod_cmd.xml?cmd=something with content == 'alarms' then
> alert

   results in:

> 'uri.to.check' failed protocol test [HTTP] at
> INET[1.2.3.4:443/LOG0/FAULT/mod_cmd.xml?cmd=something] via TCPSSL --
> HTTP error: Server returned status 401

   So:

   I can do my connection testing with the "old" syntax, which solves 
my immediate problem.

   But: how long will that syntax be supported by monit?

   And since I get these 401-errors (no 407 errors, there is no proxy 
inbetween), either my base64 encoding is wrong, or I did some other 
simple error in my configuration, or both of the syntaxes do not do the 
same...

   Any help on that point is still appreciated.
