any chance to pass user agent string?

by: ideal2545

The app we use checks the browser and it returns 'browser not supported' - any chance you can add in a user agent string paramater?

a bug of State change

by: maxidea

It was a useful script but one bug found.
When we get a authentication failed , the "CRITICAL" will show on the message. But the state of Nagios was not changed! The state of Nagios was OK. So I hope it can be fixed at next release. Thanks!
