I started looking into this today to find out whether it was possible to 
use another URL for testing.  According to the heartbeat script you can 
specify the parameter statusurl and as long as it has a body and html 
tag on the page you test it should work.

So I thought I'd give it a try, but it failed.  Initially I assumed it 
was because I hadn't selected a page with the body and html tag (having 
not noticed that was a necessity) but even when against a page that has 
them it still failed.  Trying to execute the command it runs came up 
with a failure for me too, but it appears to be how all the arguments 
are presented to wget courtesy of "sh -c".

It's looking for a positive return from:

sh -c wget -O- -q -L http://whatever.url.youprovided | tr '\012' ' ' | 
grep -Ei "</ *body *>[[:space:]]*</ *html *>"

Problem is if you cut it down to just that first section:
sh -c wget -O- -q -L http://whatever.url.youprovided

it pops back and tells you
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

If you execute wget without using "sh -c" in front of it it sees the URL 
and parses it successfully.

Surrounding the wget string with ' marks, as in:
sh -c 'wget -O- -q -L http://whatever.url.youprovided '

I'm trying to figure out what other options are available.  Adding in ' 
marks on line 406 of the ocf heartbeat apache script breaks it!
