The reason is probably what is in the binary data. 1st: try to go around the difficulty instead of jumping over it: is there= an option to check_tcp to write something else than binary data ? check_tcp --help wil= l help you to answer. 2nd: I'd really like to know what's inside that binary data. I also notic= e that there are [ and ] characters. Ben: is there somewhere something that say that p= lugins can put binary data between those 2 characters ? In that case, there may be somet= hing to do in perfparse ?
