mean?


Hi,
 
Sorry if I have missed it somewhere but I really have had a good
look around. I'm trying to work out what the status_line part of
the output from check_http actually means.
 
For example, take this output:
 
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 4568 bytes in 0.071 seconds
|time=0.071493s;5.000000;7.000000;0.000000 size=4568B;;;0
 
I know that the 0.071493 is how long it took to download the
page. The 5 and 7 are the warning and critical times and the
4568B is the size of the downloaded page. However, what does the
0.000000 represent? How about the final 0? What information could
appear in between all those semicolons towards the end? I had
passed "-t 11" when I got that output above and was surprised
that it didn't appear after the 5 and 7 in the output, hence my
confusion.
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
 
Cheers,
 
Mark Baxter
