Checking HTTPS site status

[Morphius143]

Hello All

Does anyone know of a way to check the status of a https site?

I have managed to get the http checks working but https always seems to fail, running a telnet to port 443 also fails so i am guessing it is to do with the SSL.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,
Goliat is an stress/load audit tool for WEB applications and URL can use https as well as http.
This is an example for GET task (in goliat.config file):

task_begin
get https://Server/nps/servlet/portal?render=on
check_string iManager de Novell
task_end

More information: http://goliat.sourceforge.net/en/index.php
I've tested it and GET works fine, but I don't get that the POST task working properly.
Regards!
Elena.
