</div>As Hari pointed it, it doesn't _have_ to, it's just the most common<br>
protocol and the one that the standard plugins are designed for. I could<br>
use PigeonProtocol if I could just teach the pigeon how to peck in the<br>
check results. If the process can be scripted, it can be used as a check<br>
plugin. It's that scripting part that can be challenging...<br>
