powershell: script to monitor multiple URLs passively being hosted in a restricted zone

The below scripts is used when you have a server which is on a restricted zone and you need to put passive monitoring for the URLs being hosted on those servers,

Since no inbound access is possible to that restricted zone servers and only outbound possible, the best possible solution I can think of is issuing  a https request to send data to our local server and then we can use that data to monitor the status of the URLs hosted at the restricted zone.
