Hi Scott,<br><br>The link you posted is a user-contributed patch for check_http, posted on the tracker on Jan 3rd 2012.<br>Nagios Plugins v. 1.4.15 were released in July 2010 so you can be sure that this patch has not made it into 1.4.15.<br>
<br>You have two options:<br>- Wait and hope that this patch will make it sometime into the branch and next version release (good luck with that)<br>- Re-compile check_http from source with the patch yourself<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I installed Nagios Plugins v.1.4.15 after reading a post on Sourceforge
that showed the latest version of check_http included an option for
regular expression searches in the header of the file. That option does
not seem to be available. Can anyone shed some light on this? This is
the post I read...</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3469275&group_id=29880&atid=397599" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3469275&group_id=29880&atid=397599</a></div>
