====== check_http_fwb ======

check_http_fwb  is a nagios plugin for checking HTTP. It differs from check_http by missing features which are rarely used, having a small codesize (7 KB statical code, diet-compiled and sstripped) and doing per default only a HEAD request.


===== Usage =====

check_http_fwb -I ip-address -w warnlevel -c critlevel [-p port] [-H http11_hostname] [-u remotefile] [-A user_agent] [-t timeout] [-G] [-D]


===== Help =====

Options:

**-I ip-address**\\
Specify the IP address of the remote server to check.

**-w warnlevel**\\
Specify the warning level.

**-c critlevel**\\
Specify the critical level.

**-p port**\\
Specify the port of the http server on the remote host.

**-H http11_hostname**\\
Specify the hostname for name-based virtual hosts.

**-u remotefile**\\
Instead of using the default "/" you can request a different file.

**-A user_agent**\\
Specify the HTTP user agent (default: "check_http_fwb/1 (nagios-fwb)").

**-t timeout**\\
The plugins internal timeout in seconds (default: 10).

Use "GET". "HEAD" is the default in check_http_fwb and "GET" is the default in standard nagios plugin check_http.
