Summary: check_http does not send port in Host field of GET request

Initial Comment:

I need the port reflected in the Host: field of the GET
request. Siteminder uses this info in applying security
authorizations.

here's my check_http version: check_http
(nagios-plugins 1.3.1) 1.24.2.4


Here's ngrep sniffs showing the request to the web
server from check_http and links.

$ check_http -H msp21754 -p 61616 -u /

T 10.163.68.117:49879 -> 10.163.180.47:61616 [AP]
  GET / HTTP/1.0..Host: msp21754..User-Agent:
check_http/1.24.2.4 (nagios-plugins ).


$ links --source http://msp21754:61616/
T 10.163.68.117:49866 -> 10.163.180.47:61616 [AP]
  GET / HTTP/1.1..Host: msp21754:61616..User-Agent:
ELinks (0.4.2; Linux; )..Referer:

I can work around the problem by specifying the IP to
connect to with -I and putting host:IP in the -H parameter:

$check_http -I 10.163.180.47 -H msp21754:61616 -p 61616
-u /

T 10.163.68.117:49894 -> 10.163.180.47:61616 [AP]
  GET / HTTP/1.0..Host: msp21754:61616..User-Agent:
check_http/1.24.2.4 (nagios-plugins )....

Yeah that's a good idea, didn't occur to me. I'll work on
this tonight.

of course if our behaviour does not comply with the
standadrd, we probably should make some sort of change.

Or starting with your reasoning, maybe we could have -H
msp21754:61616 also set the port?

I know it seems silly to have to specify the port twice, but
the way it functions currently best fits the description of
the flags. Plus I'd rather let the user send whatever host
header they'd like instead of forcefully appending a port.
