Hi,
I believe there's no such feature in check_http (you can double check by
running "check_http --help" and looking at the options). However I'm
planing to rework some parts of the plugin as there's some issues right
now (for example a 302 ok status will not check the response time).
Please submit your feature to the "feature request" tracker of the
Nagios-plugins SF page located at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/
I will assign it to myself and make sure it's being looked at when I
rework the plugin. I can't guarantee you any date as I work on
Nagios-plugins during my free time, but if you're lucky it could be for
the next release...
Thanks,
Thomas
