check_http issues...

[Victor Lanza]

Hi all,

Sooo I upgraded from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 in the hopes that the fix for the extra
$ would be fixed in it but it doesn't seem to be.

I've set up the commands with the escapes like so:

check_command           check_http_arg!admin:'123$45\!'
check_command           check_http_arg!admin:'123\$45\!'

and in both instances I get the following while debugging:

check_command           check_http_arg!admin:'123$45\!$'

If the debian supplied patch works as expected to handle the inclusion  
of the extra '$' then it should be as simple as changing your  
service{} check_command to be --

check_command           check_http_arg!admin:'123$45\!'

I expect the $ to be ok as-is since the shell will see that enclosed  
in single-quotes an won't treat it as a shell variable.
