check_http plugin redirects bug

[Russell Scibetti]

I sent this to the nagiosplug list with no response, so I was hoping 
someone on this list might be able to respond to this:

I have found a problem with the check_http plugin and its ability to 
follow redirects properly.  If it hits a redirect that has the full 
domain and file name given, it can follow the redirect (assuming you are 
giving the plugin the "-f follow" argument).  However, if the 
redirect in the HTTP header only gives the file name without a leading 
slash, the plugin tries doing a GET for that file name.  Since it is 
missing the leading slash, the plugin will always return a 404 in this case.  

Should I just fix the plugin to make sure that the leading slash is 
added, or is the plugin developer on this list and he/she would like to 
fix it?  Or does anyone have any other suggestions?
