[Nagiosplug-devel] SEC: UNCLASS: PATCH: backslash escape sequences in check_tcp

[Hand, Nathan]

I use this checkcommand to check a website behind a proxy (no other choice)

	define command {
		command_name	check_http_via_proxy
		command_line	$USER1$/check_tcp -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -s
'GET $ARG3$ HTTP/1.0\r\n' -e 'HTTP/1.0 200'
	}

With a service looking like this

	define service {
		...
	check_command
check_http_via_proxy!myproxy!8080!http://myisp.com/mysite/
}

The latest version of nagios-plugins doesn't grok the escape sequences. It
sends out the backslashes and all! So
the socket times out while the webserver patiently waits for the blank line.

Here's a simple patch that adds escape sequence processing to check_tcp. I
questioned whether to add this to the
nagios-core config parser, but I decided to go with the principle of least
change.
