  PROTO(COL) {name}

-HTTP protocol supports additional options:
- o REQUEST
- o HOSTHEADER
- o CHECKSUM
-
- PROTO(COL) HTTP [REQUEST {"/path"} [with HOSTHEADER "string"] [with  
CHECKSUM checksum]
-
-When the Host header option is not specified, for HTTP protocol, by default
-the content of host option which specifies the target host to connect to  
is used.
-The Host header can be used when you need to test
-
-Examples:
-
-  if failed host 192.168.1.100 port 8080 protocol http and  
request '/testing' hostheader 'example.com' with timeout 20 seconds for 2  
cycles then alert
-  if failed host 192.168.1.101 port 8080 protocol http and  
request '/testing' hostheader 'example.com' with timeout 20 seconds for 2  
cycles then alert
-  if failed host 192.168.1.102 port 8080 protocol http and  
request '/testing' hostheader 'example.com' with timeout 20 seconds for 2  
cycles then alert

+The Host header option can be used to explict specify the HTTP
+host header in the request. If not used, Monit will use the
+hostname or IP-address of the host as specified in the statement.
+Specifiying a host header is useful if you want to connect to the
+host using an IP-address, and the web-server handle name based
+virtual hosts. Examples:
+
+  if failed host 192.168.1.100 port 8080 protocol http
+     and request '/testing' hostheader 'example.com'
+     with timeout 20 seconds for 2 cycles

 In addition to the standard protocols, the I<APACHE-STATUS>
 protocol is a test of a specific server type, rather than a
