For starters your not supposed to do that .. It (testshib) was never designed for that type of use. Using something out of your control for a  health-check is a bad idea regardless of the external design.

Next .. we have kind of abandoned that [1] service. 
Use the next generation configuration for a simple one time check (NOT a health-check).
