check_http times out eventhough website is accessible

[Kalle Andersson]

But I should've noticed that when using telnet/lynx? There couldn't be 
that much difference between check_http and telnet.
I can't recall if there was a slight delay when trying to connect to 
those sites, but I'm certain that it didn't take 10 seconds, using lynx 
that is.

By the way, I'm using IP-addresses when connecting, DNS is not an issue 
here.

Once I get the error again I'll try and se if I can get some additional 
information by tracking the syscalls done by check_http.
