[S. H.]

hi all

can check_http check links with ampersand (&) characters in the url.
An example url would be: 
http://intl.yahoo.asia.studylink.com/results/results.html?page=1&study-locations=&levels-of-study=&keywords=it

when i try the above url i get strange results that nagios doesn't
understand. example:

root at vmNagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_http -H
intl.yahoo.asia.studylink.com -u
/results/results.html?page=1&study-locations=&levels-of-study=&keywords=it
[1] 394
[2] 395
bash: study-locations=: command not found
[3] 396
bash: levels-of-study=: command not found
[2]   Exit 127                study-locations=
[3]+  Exit 127                levels-of-study=
root at vmNagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 302 Moved
