The GitHub project linked is your best bet for bug fixes which've been added in the last couple years. Glad it's working :) Message body should be the HTTP headers that we got from the request.

Got it up and running and now have SMS alerts when the servers go down. The first test emails were with an empty body, maybe add some useful information there (maybe it already does, didn't read the script throughly =) ). Thanks for that!

I would recommend using the script from the official project or updating what you have to accept a 302 status as acceptable. Let me know if that doesn't fix your issue and I'll file an issue on the GitHub page. Cheers, Eric John: I believe that in New Zealand, Yahoo and Google return a 302 instead of a 200 HTTP status.

I'll be sure to add any additions/fixes to the repository. Thanks again!
