source of check_http

[thesefer]

hi there,
what is the source of the check_http plugin? Unfortunately the one provided by monitoring-plugins-basic on ubuntu does not support the args

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http --uri
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http: unrecognized option '--uri'
Usage:
 check_http -H <vhost> | -I <IP-address> [-u <uri>] [-p <port>]
       [-J <client certificate file>] [-K <private key>]
       [-w <warn time>] [-c <critical time>] [-t <timeout>] [-L] [-E] [-a auth]
       [-b proxy_auth] [-f <ok|warning|critcal|follow|sticky|stickyport>]
       [-e <expect>] [-d string] [-s string] [-l] [-r <regex> | -R <case-insensitive regex>]
       [-P string] [-m <min_pg_size>:<max_pg_size>] [-4|-6] [-N] [-M <age>]
       [-A string] [-k string] [-S <version>] [--sni]
       [-T <content-type>] [-j method]

check_http is not part of the Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins collection (although we plan to port it to Python and implement some new features).

yes, I noticed that. Because dumb me prepared everything on the master instead of the release and now it got my attention :) That's why I am asking about the current source if it's externally available currently.

• for RHEL: the check is from the nagios plugins project. On RHEL (and compatibles) you can install the nagios-plugins-http package.
• for Debian: the check is from the monitoring plugins project. You can install the monitoring-plugins-basic package.

I see. I guess I have to build it myself then for the time being. Thank you very much!
