weird logs showing up

[alex black]

hey all,

I've got a simple check happening on a PHP URL:

in /var/log/syslog:
Mar 10 14:06:08 lamp monit[18769]: HTTP error: cannot parse HTTP  
status in response: <!-- UNKNOWN sec -->HTTP/1.1 302 Found

in my monitrc include:
    if failed url http://www.myhost.com:80/index.php
        timeout 3 seconds
        then restart

curl --include www.myhost.com/index.php|head shows:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 21:12:27 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 mod_ssl/2.0.54

So, I'm a bit confused.

What I would expect monit to see is exactly what I would expect curl  
to see (curl is being run from localhost just as monit is).

Has anyone run into this? Anyone have any ideas?

I tried adding the -v switch, so I'm running
/usr/sbin/monit -Icv /etc/monit/monitrc

but that doesn't appear to change its logging behavior.

also does anyone know the status of the http host bug? i.e. the  
problem where monit does not send a HOST: header which breaks the  
http/1.1 spec?

thanks,

_alex
