+In my job I'm taking care of a monitoring system using nagios.
+For monitoring web sites I needed a decent plugin for Nagios to do
+HTTP(s) alive checks. The standard 'check_http' plugin had some problems
mainly with chunked transfer encoding, thus I hacked a plugin using the
excellent [libCurl library](http://curl.haxx.se).
-The development area is accessible at:
-[https://github.com/andreasbaumann/nagios-plugin-curl](https://github.com/andreasbaumann/nagios-plugin-curl).
+Further development goes on as 'check_curl' in
+[monitoring-plugins](https://github.com/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins).
+If you want help out testing or developing it should happen there.
+
+An old archived version of the plugin can be found at
+http://git.andreasbaumann.cc/cgit/nagios-plugin-curl/.
