When used without arguments it will connect to port 80 and try to get the file "/". Other URLs/ports may be passed. The "check" column the check results will appear under on the status display can be specified via the "check" argument as in
server check=proxy
The http check is based on the "tcp" check explained in its own manpage. The same additional arguments (especially "timeout=") apply to http also.
