Question

I have a machine, in which apache is running. I configured apache to get the ssl certificate from location /ssl. I can hit my site www.batman.com and there is no ssl error in my browser.

But when I try :

wget localhost

I get an huge error:

ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches
    requested host name `localhost'.
To connect to localhost insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

I know my ssl certificate doesn’t match the name localhost. But my problem is I’m running a script downloaded from here.

when I run:

./check_apache2.sh -H localhost -P 8443

I get an error:

(standard_in) 2: syntax error
OK - Apache serves  Requests per second with an average CPU utilization of 0.5%. Busy workers: , idle:  | 'cpu_load'=0.5 'req_psec'= 'bytes_psec'= 'bytes_preq'= 'workers_busy'= 'workers_idle'=

I guess the error is due to ssl certificate reason.

Are there any way to say my script that don’t do ssl certificate check same as what wget provides with no-check-certificate?

I’m new to bash. Kindly help

Thanks in advance.

Try:

./check_apache2.sh -H localhost -P 8443 -S

According to the docs, the -S does https and invokes wget with the --no-check-certificate flag.
