check_http_header

Write a Review

Description:

check_http_header is a web content monitor written in perl. Checks http header for text. It`s very rare task… Standart nagios check_http checks only content for regexp existance. So, maybe this plugin will be useful for somebody exept me.

retrieves header of http responce and looks in its output for a given text (regexp). If the text is found returns OK, if not found returns CRITICAL, and UNKNOWN otherwise (connection error,…) plus a brief error description.

It has no other dependencies than PERL itself and some libraries (Getopt::Std and ,WWW::Curl::Easy)
