There's nothing special about the Nagios CGI's that would prevent them
from running under a standard HTTPS [v]host. HTTPS simply defines that
the communication from the client to the server is encrypted. I'm sure
that there is plenty of documentation online on how to set up an HTTPS
host for whatever your web server is. The general steps are to create a
signed certificate either through a vendor like verisign/thawte or sign
one yourself, Listen on :443, turn SSLEngine on and set the rest of the
required parameters. If you're using apache this site might be useful -
