Description

The idea is to allow checkin state's change via http. In other words we want to keep track of some predefined response element (from response body) like foo=123 and ensure the value for this key is changing (or not changing) according to our expectations.

In a way it is similar to what we already do for file provider, however instead of file size it will be using a value from http response body

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing file provider behavior and the current HTTP check implementation, neither of which is identified by file name in the issue. Clarify how response elements such as foo=123 are selected, persisted, and compared, including expectations for changing or unchanged values. Done means stateful HTTP checks reliably evaluate the configured response value across checks.
