check_http results - interpreting error messages.

[Giles Coochey]

I am monitoring a website, and I sometimes get two types of error:

One is:

CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds

and the other is:

HTTP CRITICAL - No data received from host

What is the difference between the two errors? Is it the case that the 
HTTP CRITICAL error connected to the server via TCP, but didn't get a 
page and that the Socket timeout error didn't even establish the TCP 
connection?

Thanks

Giles
