Apache status over https

[cgzones]

When trying to read the apache status over https, monit complains:

'apache2' failed protocol test [APACHESTATUS] at [localhost]:443 [TCP/IP] -- APACHE-STATUS: error -- server returned status 400

I am using a certificate chain with a custom self-signed certificate and a permanent vhost redirect:

Redirect permanent / https://mydomain.com/

The apache-status protocol test (not the http protocol test itself) doesn't follow redirects ... the monit configuration needs to be modified to communicate with the redirect target directly.
