using web content to determine the nagios status

Why don't you just do a nontent check on a page that wont change much?
It beats the hell out off writing one?

Subject: [Nagios-users] using web content to determine the nagios status

Hello,
    Im trying to monitor a webserver (and its services) without
installing a client on it.
    For that I was hopping to use a created php page which tests several
services(mysql, ...) and prints a status message.
    Is there any way to take the status message presented by the php
page (OK, WARNING, ERROR,..) and map it to nagios status?
   
    I tried check_http -H webserver -u /status.htm -s "STATUS OK", but
this way I can only get a status ok or error on nagios status.
    Is there any other way to do it, besides developing a specific
plug-in?
Thanks

jaime
