It looks like the HTTP server issue a redirect response (status code  
302). Monit does not handle redirects very well. Make sure that the  
URL you are testing returns a status code of 200, when all is well.

I assume curl handle (follows) redirects must better than monit.

Eh..? monit _does_ send a proper HTTP/1.1 request. The only time the  
Host-header has an empty value is if the request was for localhost,  
i.e. 'url http://localhost:80/'

If you use an url such as this, with a real hostname, 'url http:// 
www.myhost.com:80/index.php' The host-header takes the value of  
'www.myhost.com', in this way monit can properly be used to test name- 
based virtual hosts.
