In my job I'm sometimes the deputy of the system administrator. 
Using nagios/zabbix/SNMP for monitoring I needed a decent plugin 
for Nagios to do HTTP alive checks. The standard one 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:
