<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hiyas, didnt know where to send this exatly to..
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I sending it in hope that it might be of help to
someone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I noticed that after upgrading from check_real
(nagios-plugins 1.3.0-beta2) 1.2<BR>to check_real (nagios-plugins 1.3.0) 1.4,
all my "regular" Real tests:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>./check_real -H hostname</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Started to get: "RTSP/1.0 404 Not
Found"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When not looking for anything, this is an strange
error message..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I noticed in the source for check_real that the
server_url pointer had been changed to</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>char *server_url = "/"; to prevent software
failure. Now.. with this as 'default url' the plugin will look for "/" in the
server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>That was what was causing the error messages. The streaming servers I check
demand that you give a valid URL and "/" is not one. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know if this is actually a good solution, it's a quick dirty hack
that worked out good for me.</DIV>
<DIV>Even though I never have experienced any problems..</DIV>
<DIV>beware.. the author writes about his change: </DIV>

plugins/check_real.c:<BR> make sure
host_name is set and remove NULL string inits that can lead to

<DIV>The system that I compiled on is Linux Redhat 7.2 (i386) with

<DIV>I can't see any reason why this shouldnt work on most systems though.</DIV>
