Summary: check_http is missing http Accept: header

Initial Comment:
check_http is not sending an "Accept:" header when connecting to http servers.

Please add something like

  /* Accept Header */
  asprintf (&buf, "%sAccept: text/html\r\n",buf);

in function check_http() in check_http.c somewhere after 

  /* optionally send the host header info */
  if (host_name)
    asprintf (&buf, "%sHost: %s\r\n", buf, host_name);


If you can spend some more time on this plugin, optionally add a command line parameter to let caller set/override this option (i.e. for changing "Accept:" from "text/html" to "text/xml").

Regards
Andi
