check_http: Odd bug with SSL check. (#1358)

[Benoît.S]

```
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -V      
check_http v2.1.1 (monitoring-plugins 2.1.1) 
```
If we check an Apache 2.2 server under Debian Wheezy, all is OK.
```
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H $MYDOMAIN
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 2481 bytes in 0.582 second response time
|time=0.582011s;;;0.000000 size=2481B;;;0
```

If we check an Apache 2.4 server under Debian Jessie, there is an odd bug.
```
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H $MYDOMAIN			     
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 2392 bytes in 7.530 second response time
|time=7.529691s;;;0.000000 size=2392B;;;0 
$ /usr/bin/time curl https://$MYDOMAIN -k -o /dev/null -s	
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.28elapsed 2%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
8828maxresident)k
```
Why it took 7+s where curl took 0.28s?

The fact is check_http doesn't seems to speak the same HTTPS as curl. I
traced Apache to see more informations.

```
14:57:42 accept4(6, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(53216),
inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::ffff:88.179.18.233", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo
=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, [28], SOCK_CLOEXEC) = 29
14:57:42 read(29, 0x7f7ddd36b048, 8000) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
14:57:42 poll([{fd=29, events=POLLIN}], 1, 7000) = 0 (Timeout)
14:57:49 close(29)			= 0
```

It took 7+s, because my Apache server has a Timeout of 7s. Apache seems to
wait something from check_http, before timeout occurs. (You can set Apache
timeout to 30s, check_http will take 30+s).

An here comes the really odd part.
```
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H $MYDOMAIN -N 		     
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 256 bytes in 0.555 second response time
|time=0.554783s;;;0.000000 size=256B;;;0 
```
With -N, all is OK.

Any ideas? I opened the issue here because I have only this odd bug with
check_http, not with curl, wget, browsers…
It may be related to Apache, but that's quite odd.
