Hi All, I'm looking at setting up a test with the new synthetics/browser module in Heartbeat. I would like to use the [Zip URL](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/monitor-browser-options.html#monitor-source-zipurl) source for this. However, the repo I want to use has a cert signed by a private CA. Looking at the settings available for this source, there are no [SSL](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-ssl.html) options like there are for the [tcp monitor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/monitor-tcp-options.html#monitor-tcp-tls-ssl). Are there any plans to add such options (or are there undocumented options) so that private repos can be used with this monitor/source? ---

It's not on our roadmap at the moment, but I've just created an issue for it here [[Heartbeat] Support private CAs for `zip_url` · Issue #27597 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/27597) . Thanks for providing your feedback, I'm sure others would find this useful. It'd be helpful for us to know how you're creating the zip. Are you using a self-hosted git service or similar? ---

Hi @Andrew_Cholakian1 thanks for the information. Currently the zip is created by a self-hosted GitLab server from a zip repo link. ---

We've merged [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/27699](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/27699) which should resolve this. It is currently targeting the 7.16.0 release, though that could change in the future. ---
