check_http behaviour question.

[George McKinney]

I've written a Java application that our operations team wants to
monitor via Nagios ( version 1.2 of Nagios ).

 

Because my app is non-http, I used thecom.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer
class ( a lightweight http server ) to provide the information that ops
wants.

 

when ops uses wget to call the appropriate url , it returns immediately,
with the expected output.

when ops uses check_http, it hangs until it gets a SocketTimeout.

 

I have seen a bug report re HttpServer that suggests that it doesn't
immediately close the connection when it is told to ( as I am telling it
to ), so that may be the problem, but wonder if there might be something
about Nagios that is causing this. 

 

Thanks,
