Cool, thanks! I only just looked over the diff file, but so far it looks pretty good. You did a good job at keeping the same formatting I used too, which is nice :-) Only one thing was missed: you didn't add your initials and a comment to the revision history section ;-)
Oooops... :)
Regarding the proxy, I think it would be a good idea to have the proxy url in the config file. But I think in general, the config file could use a little overhauling, as some of the monitors I set up have long urls and especially with the "post" type, long post content as well. It makes the single-line format a bit unwieldy to edit. I'll have to come up with something when I get a chance.
I can think of at least two other things I'd like to see in the config file:
COLUMN - There could be multiple different checks on a given server. For example: we have a bunch of servers running Tomcat on ports 8001 & 9001. One port set is always offline (and disabled-until-OK in Hobbit) The client occasionally asks to switch clusters, usually at inconvenient (for me) times, so I check both port sets all the time. A single test hitting both ports would always show red...
per-host authentication - to handle the occasions where a browser would pop up an authentication box because the server responds with "401 Unauthorized" & "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="xxxx" headers. That would be "curl -u userid:passwd".
I think you're going to end up with multi-line entries per host...
