Summary: check_http faillure to some embedded HTTP servers

Initial Comment:

The chech_http plug-in sends an HTTP GET/POST 
request spread over several TCP datagrams. The socket 
output buffer is send after the GET / HTTP/1.0 in the 
header after is send again after the Agent-type and is 
send again after the Host: part etc.. (multiple socket 
send () function calls)
This results under Linux in several TCP datagrams
(packets) per HTTP GET request.

Although this is HTTP protocol compliant and works fine 
with most HTTP servers it fails with some simple 
embedded HTTP servers found in wireless accesspoints 
etc.

Most browsers and programs like wget send the 
complete HTTP GET command in one TCP datagram 
and the simple embedded HTTP servers will handle that 
fine. (and it's less traffic on the network, better resource 
usage, better response times etc....)

Since I am not a programmer I can not fix this program 
the correct way. I just hacked my check_http to get it 
working with loosing some functionality. (which is not 
what I want to summit to the nagios community)

Who can help me fix the check_http plug-in?

Kind regards,

PBO.
