Technically no it's not a bug, the command line arguments are not
compatible. Looking around line 1030 and forward of check_http.c, the
regex tests and size tests are not progressive. The order (from there
forward) is header checks, regex checks then size checks. Each will exit
the program based on *success* or failure of the check. I would call it
a feature request to have checks be progressive. On success, continue to
the next test...  You might want to bounce this over to the
nagiosplug-devel list for their consideration.
