Litespeed plugin requires "https"

[rinogo]

The LiteSpeed plugin was failing as following:

root@host [10134 12:52:40 ~]# nixstatsagent --test litespeed
litespeed:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:1004: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings
  InsecureRequestWarning,
{}

On my partuclar system, I was able to fix this by modifying litespeed.py:

root@host [10135 12:52:46 ~]# nano /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nixstatsagent/plugins/litespeed.py

I changed "http" to "https" on the following line. Before:

        response = requests.get("http://%s:%s/status?rpt=summary" % (config.get('litespeed', 'host'),config.get('litespeed', 'port')), auth=(config.get('litespeed', 'username'), config.get('litespeed', 'password')), verify=False)

After:

        response = requests.get("https://%s:%s/status?rpt=summary" % (config.get('litespeed', 'host'),config.get('litespeed', 'port')), auth=(config.get('litespeed', 'username'), config.get('litespeed', 'password')), verify=False)

This need to use SSL may be a consequence of this excerpt in LiteSpeed's documentation:

Since 5.2 we started forcing SSL so unless you forced disable SSL for admin menu ... If you still run http instead of https, you may experience 403 error.

This should be resolved now, https is now set as the default method.
