The HTTP protocol test supports rudimentary redirect within the same
server but not to external servers, though that should not be
difficult to add. However looking at the redirect code now I think the
best would be to remove it from monit. The reason is that it adds
extra unnecessary complexity without adding much in functionality and
it also keeps the socket open for keep-alive timeout. Users should
instead write the direct URL and we should send the "Connection:
close" header as well which would be easier on the server we test. For
monit it does not matter though since the socket is closed anyway
after the http protocol test returns.
