The script cmk-migrate-http can be used to migrate check_http rules to check_httpv2 rules in an automated fashion.

Multiple changes have been made to improve the useability of the script. None of these changes affect the actual migration of rules.

The option --http-1-0-not-supported=ignore is now selected automatically. This option would warn you, if the old check was in a configuration, in which it would send HTTP/1.0 requests. The requests are now silently changed to HTTP/1.1. Per RFC7230, HTTP/1.1 is compatible with HTTP/1.0.
The script no longer validates against the usage of macros. With the introduction of Werk #17584 this validation is obsolete.
Introduction of the --dry-run option.
Update of multiple texts.
Addition of summaries for the commands delete, activate, and deactivate.
Addition of service name in rule header.
