ugly, and so far not working:
 option httpchk POST /db_api/lucene_check.php HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <methodCall>

<methodName>query</methodName> <params> <param> <value>
<string>kafjkdfajdfkjfkajdf</string> </value> </param> </params>
</methodCall>

if that line wrapped, i have it all on one line in the config.

tcpdump shows only this much coming through: <tcpdump>
POST /db_api/lucene_check.php HTTP/1.0

<?xml

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
</tcpdump>
