HTTP availability checker

Simple website availability checker written in Go.

Periodically sends an HTTP request to the given URL, and periodically sends the success count and success ratio.

Here is a sample usage to post stats to a Redis queue.

package main

import (
  "github.com/claudetech/avchecker"
  redis "github.com/xuyu/goredis"
)

func main() {
  reporter, err := avchecker.NewRedisQueueReporter("coocreed", &redis.DialConfig{})
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
  checker := avchecker.New("http://localhost:4567", reporter, &avchecker.Options{})
  checker.StartChecking()
}

To POST the stats through HTTP instead of posting them to redis, you could replace the reporter, err := line by

reporter, err := avchecker.NewHttpReporter("http://mystatscollector.com/stats", "application/json")
