Initial Comment:
Hi.

This is from the old / soon to be disabled again Nagios Plugins bug tracker that used to be at Nagios itself.
I've just copied this bug over. I'm not the original reporter and have no idea about the thoughts about this bug.

This used to be: http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=237

When I execute the following check the cookie value is broken up onto two lines, thus the check always returns a 400 error.

./check_http -H mysite.com -u http://mysite.com/home/index.aspx [^] -f follow
       -s Welcome -k 'Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324' -v

The cookie in the request looks like:
Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr
userlogin=123adsfjlk324

But should look like Cookie: user=4reqrerqwr;userlogin=123adsfjlk324
