Website Monitoring: Getting the header? Using a custom Index?

Hi,
I have to extension requests for the website Monitorig app that I hoep can be considered in the next release.
Would it be possible to include the headers of the returned data? I want to track a few hings like cookie settings that can be extracted from the headers. (Bonus point would an option to include certificate details from returend TLS Certs)
And beeing able to put all of this in a custom index would help when defining access controls.
If that can be done in the source by myself, I'd be happy for pointers.

thx
afx

I can add support for this. I opened a ticket to track the request here: https://lukemurphey.net/issues/2525

And being able to put all of this in a custom index would help when defining access controls.
You can set a default index in the setup page which will be used by default for all inputs. You can also edit the index individually for each input.

Update:
I added the ability to get headers in version 2.9. I haven't added the certificate details yet though.

Thanks!

Any chance to also dump the cert details? That way the app (or at last the logs) could easily turned into a tool for monitoring certificate compliance and expiry.
