[monit-dev] Re: Proposal: remove redirect support in http protocol test

[Martin Pala]

Good point ...  on the other side, there can be users already who use 
this test and thus will need to modify the configuration on upgrade.

The redirect test in monit cvs can also identify the loops, which can be 
useful.

So here is my +-0 (the proposed change has positive and negative features)
