Yes. Shouldn't be too hard though - run wget to slurp up a page. If I
had this problem, I'd tell check_http to stop about halfway through the
page - it will change over time, so you don't want to require loading
100% of what you download via wget. I'd also probably do some sort of
string or regex check.

I'll try and add the size limit to the CVS HEAD in the next week or so -
with that you should have a sporting chance to make this work.
