With my change you format a web page response like Nagios plugin output, put the numeric exit code in the X-NRPE-Status header, set the Content-Type to text/nagios and the check_http plugin behaves like check_nrpe.
Instead of having to parse the output of your own web applications to suit Nagios, why not have them output the status in that format already.
