I don't want to check something fixed. I want to know if my stream work,
and for this I have to check that I can download more than 5kB. Do you
think there is a way to do this with monit ?

I'm sure that the server sended some data, his log say so (and a

Sorry about this "stupid" question but this xml format is not mentionned
anywhere in the doc ... :)
