Unlike check_http, this script can be used to test mission critical URLs like http://some.com/?status/other.

Works with both https and http.

Added PID number for temporary files, that the script can run in parallel with multiple processes.
Added a check if one arguments is defined at script startup.
Note: The script requires wget to be installed at /usr/bin/.
So I updated the source code, here is my version:
#!/usr/bin/perl
