302 not being an error is OK! The "problem" starts, when you redirect  
the output to a parser for logging the performancedata to rrd-files.  
These scripts tend to get confused, if the output does not follow a  
consistent pattern. For us human-beings these lines mean more or less  
the same  - at least we recognize that this service is somehow OK

	HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1227 bytes in 0.067 seconds
	OK - HTTP/1.1 302 Found - 0.723 second response time

A script can get confused. Wheras it is no big deal to adapt a parser- 
script such inconsistencies fill me with doubt - may be someone had a  
reason, to program the plugin like this?

Cheers, Ingo.

Concretely: The confused parser was a map-file from Nagiosgraph
