check http port 80 warning on a site that actually exists.

[Henti Smith]

It looks like this is not a HTTP server.

A HTTP/HEAD/1.0 request returns :


HEAD / HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Length: 315
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Date: Mon, 01 Aug 2011 08:36:34 GMT
Connection: close

>From : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364510(v=vs.85).aspx

The HTTP Server API enables applications to communicate over HTTP
without using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).
Applications can register to receive HTTP requests for particular
URLs, receive HTTP requests, and send HTTP responses. The HTTP Server
API includes SSL support so that applications can exchange data over
secure HTTP connections without IIS. It is also designed to work with
I/O completion ports

Hence it's not giving a valid response to a HTTP/1.0 request and the
plugin returns 404 Not found.

possibly use a tcp check as this is not a HTTP server ?
