This plugin collects information about an Ascent server, a free server for the "World of Warcraft" game. This plugin gathers the information by fetching the XML status page using libcurl and parses it using libxml2.

The configuration options are the same as for the apache plugin above:

URL http://localhost/ascent/status/: Sets the URL of the XML status output.
User Username: Optional user name needed for authentication.
Password Password: Optional password needed for authentication.
VerifyPeer true|false: Enable or disable peer SSL certificate verification. See http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html for details. Enabled by default.
VerifyHost true|false: Enable or disable peer host name verification. If enabled, the plugin checks if the Common Name or a Subject Alternate Name field of the SSL certificate matches the host name provided by the URL option. If this identity check fails, the connection is aborted. Obviously, only works when connecting to a SSL enabled server. Enabled by default.
CACert File: File that holds one or more SSL certificates. If you want to use HTTPS you will possibly need this option. What CA certificates come bundled with libcurl and are checked by default depends on the distribution you use.
Timeout Milliseconds: The Timeout option sets the overall timeout for HTTP requests to URL, in milliseconds. By default, the configured Interval is used to set the timeout.
