 Hi again all ;)
Sorry for my late reply.

But i have been doing some tests with my problem (packetloss on SSL sites) 
When i run echoping from the command line i get this:
bash-3.00$ ./echoping -h /uu2/pages/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.jsp -n 20 -C xxxxx.xxx=
.is

This is with OpenSSL...the errors seem to come randomly..does smokeping con=
sider those ERROR entries to be packet loss?....
Now lets try with gnutls:
[root at smokeping bin]# echoping -h /xxx/xxx/aliveMonitorSimple.jsp -n 20 -C =
xxxxx.xxxx.is
Elapsed time: 0.171832 seconds

"TTP error " 200 OK

It stops here....althought i did -n 20 ...i guess i will be seeing alot of
packetloss from this...well, lets try again: (again with the gnutls)
[root at smokeping bin]# echoping -h /xxxx/xxxxx/aliveMonitorSimple.jsp -n 20 =
-C xxxxx.xx.is

Now it worked .....This seems to be random ....

Running echoping 5.2 with ./configure --with-gnutls --enable-icp (when
compiled with gnutls) and them same except --with-openssl when using openssl

Buildhosts are Fedora Core 2 and Slackware-current...im getting the same
errors with both of them, ive tried moving to another server, another
networkconnection (i've even moved from one ISP to another ISP ....;)

Also tried this on RedHat 8.........

Those websites are running behind BigIP F5 boxes if it does matter.
Apache 1.3.29,tomcat......the BigIP box is a proxy for the SSL pages....

The funny part is it sometimes works ....i mean for one site i monitr just
the http://www.domain.is and then for other i monitor
http://www.domain.is/bleh/blah....I'll paste a part of my config:
++++ SSL-xxxx.com
menu =3D SSL-xxxx.com
probe =3D EchoPingHttps
title =3D https://www.xxxxxx.com/server/
host =3D www.xxxx.com
+++++ PROBE=5FCONF
url =3D /server/

This one gives me around 70-90% packetloss ...althought this page will just
return the server name....this one seems to work tho:
++++ XXX-is-HTTPS
menu =3D XXX-is-HTTPS
probe =3D EchoPingHttps
title =3D https://www.XXX.is
host =3D www.XXX.is
+++++ PROBE=5FCONF
url =3D /

Any ideas? ;) ...i have a weird feeling this has nothing to do with
smokepingor echoping in any way......If anyone has any idea whats going on
please reply :)

Per= haps a wrapper something like this helps if there is a SIGPIPE
problem?
#!/bin/bash
trap "" SIGPIPE
exec echoping $*
