Nagios check a jsp file

[Eli Stair]

I've just been looking into this for a similar need, only my app requres frames also.  You may be able to get by easier, there are a number of Perl, Python, and Ruby plugins available that make emulating a JS-client/browser in a script easier.  

Since I haven't been able to find a tool (short of server-based unit test systems) that can do what I need, I've got to resort to packet capturing the entire HTTP transaction from a valid browser, and replay it back while scraping the HTML for validity (obviously not very dynamic ;).

I'd be curious to know what you use for a solution, and how it works out.

I have a link that looks like this http://hostnae:8080/login.jsp (I edited
the actual link on purpose) and I need to monitor that it is sending data
correctly when looking at it. I used the check_http command like this. 
status:/var/www# /opt/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 10.3.8.41 -u
http://hostnae:8080/login.jsp
HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

However I know that when I go to that in a browser it pops up fine. Anyone
know of a solution to this? Is there a special plugin or command I can do
for a .jsp file? I looked for a plugin and I could only find "webinject"
which doesn't seem to work with Nagios.
