[xymon] Wrong (or badly interpreted) http response time with hobbit 4.2.0

[Benoit SCHMID]

Hello,

Unfortunately, I have :Status not available.

for
http://hobbitserver/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=xxx.unige.ch&SERVICE=bbtest

But the following works fine:
http://hobbitserver/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=xxx.unige.ch&SERVICE=http

Regards,
