[smokeping-users] HTTP transfer graph

[Peter Kristolaitis]

You should just be able to write

http://%host%/path/to/file.zip

The only thing special about the urlformat directive is that %host% is 
treated as a macro which is replaced by the target's host name.  At 
least, I'm pretty sure it works that way, it's been a while since I've 
used that probe.
