Check_http status 503 gives 200 OK

Herewith

define service{
        use                                     generic-service_24x7
        host_name                               www1
        service_description             check http <url>
        check_command                   check_http! -u
http://www.testsomething.com -w 5 -c 8
 }

This gives me a 

HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 414 bytes in 0.002 second response time 

Back.


But in the browser the check gives me a

503 statuscode back.

The Nagios check_http script isn't detecting this 503 error message.

Regards,

Jaap
