check_http script is not working

[Sankar, Bheemarasetty]

Hello ,

I'm Sankar testing nagios scripts. I have tried to ping URL check from check_http script from nagios.

http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_http (URL) = Reference

Root# check_http -w 5 -c 10 --ssl -H www.verisign.com<http://www.verisign.com>
 Name or service not known
HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket


Please help us in checking whether URL is up or down. How efficiently this script can be used ?
Is there any way to find out URL availability ? with port ? or ping ? can we pass proxy ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Sankar
