check_http can't follow redirect properly, no cookies!

No cookies in check_http, I'm afraid. It would be a nightmare enhance  
it to hold sessions.

If you are good with perl, look at WWW::Mechanize. This allows you to  
store cookies and interact with a website as if you were a browser.  
We use this to login to monitor a betting site and retrieve funds  
information.
