For my backend I am using nginx with SSL and Basic auth. The following curl works:

[root@awaf:Active:Standalone] config # curl -k https://10.100.153.50/api/status.json --user user1:P@$$w0rd
{
    "status": "up and running"
}

And the following monitor will mark the backend as green

[root@awaf:Active:Standalone] config # tmsh list ltm monitor https mon_api_json_https
ltm monitor https mon_api_json_https {
    adaptive disabled
    defaults-from https
    interval 5
    ip-dscp 0
    password ********
    recv "HTTP/1.(0|1) 200.*up and running"
    recv-disable "HTTP/1.(0|1) 200.*maintenance"
    send "GET /api/status.json HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n"
    time-until-up 0
    timeout 16
    username user1
}
