Description

If the server now returns a 502 on the root request, the testing will stop. Some servers only reply to valid paths for request. It would be nice if we can have a flag to bypass this "check whether host is available". Further, it appears that this host check request is not passed through the provided http proxy using -p http://127.0.0.1:8080.
