Summary: check_http -k parameters
Initial Comment:
I found a problem with check_http. The usage told me
to use a semicolon for -k to separate other tags to
be sent in http header. But how can I configured that
inside Nagios? A comment always starts with a
semicolon always and so Nagios removes everything
starting with the semicolon per line.
The possible solutions I see are escaping semicolons
or use a different INPUT_DELIMITER

Hi Ton,
yes, but it will not work with the current stable nagios
release. So -k for more than one header is not useable.
That is why I am calling it a bug.
Escaping of semicolons or escaping of all nasty characters
inside nagios and nrpe would be also my preferred solution.
I had a lot of problems with backslashes as well. But I
think that will cause a lot of side-effects and won't be a
easy patch for nagios. It might also cause a lot of
problems with working configs. That is why I do not expect
a change in Nagios logic before version 3. But I hope Ethan
will consider this change for the next upcoming major
release. Meanwhile no plugin should use a semicolon as
parameter.

Gerd,
This doesn't sound like a plugin problem. I'm guessing we use semi-colons
for the delimiter because colons could be used in the data, so I'm not too
keen on changing.
I think this is really a problem in Nagios to allow semi-colons to be escaped
in the command that it runs.
