  Hi,
  
  We're frequently seeing socket timeouts with some checks using the
  check_http plugin. It seems this is a known issue with some fixes
  upstream:
  
  | https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins/commit/2b38350d546ef9632ccd90e300eeaf6eda0ca32c
  | https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins/commit/fc1bf94655aaed32eeb6fb5c33b6d093f5564bad
  
  Think we can backport these fixes?
