Description
Customer requests fix for an issue on his site via RFE


Request / Information from customer;


I am using Sendmail Inc mail server software. This package includes a
web application which runs under apache which allows the user to change
passwds, edit vacation, etc. Since it is a secured web page, it runs as a
https service versus a regular web page accessible via the http
protocol. Unfortuantly, the Apache data service only probes the apache web
server using http. This causes an error to be logged each minute in the
apache log because the data service is attempting to talk http to a https
port on the web server.

I would love to have a patch considered where you specify that the port
only accepts https. With this configuration information, the data probe
would either send https or http to the apache web server depending on what
the port spoke.
Work Around
I suppose that the customer could start up port 80, but there is still nothing looking at https failures from a client perspective.
