I'm sorry. I was to quick with my reply and didn't catch that you  
already got a 404 in the log:

Well, according monit then, apache returned "Not Found" when  
requesting the /monit file. Can you verify that the monit file is in  
DocumentRoot and is readable by all?

If you do the request by hand, using telnet, you should see something  
like this?

hauk:[~]telnet localhost 80
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /monit HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Connection: close

HTTP/1.1 404 OK
[....]

Not sure why wget works though and not monit. Since monit get a 404  
error it obviously can connect to the host, so the problem must be  
related to the actual request sent by monit which is more or less the  
same as shown above in the telnet session.

Ps. As a side note and unrelated to the problem i believe, from my  
telnet session above you can see that monit does not speak IPv6 yet.
