The Man page for hobbit states that :

When checking websites, it is possible to not only check that the webserver
is responding, but also that the response looks correct by matching the
response against a pre-defined pattern or a checksum

Can anybody tell me how to configure this? I want to run a http test on a
webserver. If the webserver does not return the response I am expecting then
alert me that something has changed on the server.
Under "HTTP tests" in the version of the man page I have it lists the
"cont=" test for doing content checks.
