[Nagiosplug-help] [check_http] loading times too long

Hello Thomas,

Very interesting. Adding the -N switch actually speeds it up as you guessed.
Anyhow I do not understand quite well, because also the manual request, i.e. typing

> telnet <server> 80
..
> GET <url> HTTP/1.1
> Host: <host-name>:80
> User-Agent: check_http/v1991 (nagios-plugins 1.4.12)
> Connection: close
>

on the commandline results in a rapid answer. So if it would be the server not honouring the header, this should result in the same 15 seconds delay or am i wrong?

Best regards,

Willi
