Cool, thanks!  I only just looked over the diff file, but so far it looks
pretty good.  You did a good job at keeping the same formatting I used too,
which is nice :-)  Only one thing was missed: you didn't add your initials
and a comment to the revision history section ;-)

Regarding the proxy, I think it would be a good idea to have the proxy url
in the config file.  But I think in general, the config file could use a
little overhauling, as some of the monitors I set up have long urls and
especially with the "post" type, long post content as well.  It makes the
single-line format a bit unwieldy to edit.  I'll have to come up with
something when I get a chance.

I've partially completed the end-to-end transaction monitoring part of
urlplus.pl.  Currently, it only works with a 2-part test: content check
initial page, submit content, content check resulting page.  I haven't

completed it beyond 2 pages.  I've also been re-prioritized, so I'm not
sure
when I'll get around to getting it to work past 2 pages.  But in any
case,
I've also cleaned up some of the code, making it a little more
user-friendly
to modify for their own needs.
Can I interest you in a diff that adds proxy userid/password??  Most
of the checks I do go through a proxy that requires authentication.
And then there are some occasions when I use a *different* proxy that
doesn't require authentication at all - I suppose that would mean
moving the proxy url out to the config file, or maybe pick the proxy
via p1/p2/P1/P2??
