Nagios Support Forum

Thanks to everyone for references and ideas. WebInject ssems a good choice for the time being. Rolling your own check isn't that bad either. curl will do the trick, tracking cookies and responses codes and all that stuff. That's easy when there's a simple form simple verification.
