Add simple ping for HTTP and HTTPS
Describe the feature request
Hi!
I would like to be able to do a simple PING to a webaddress to see if it resolves.
We have some edgecases that apparantly do not allow to use buildHTTPRequest since they are returning a 403.
For these cases I would like to be able to just ping since that seems to work when testing.
Is this something you would like to have, if so, I would be able to create a PR for this, or is there a working method at this moment?
I believe this could be added here; https://github.com/TwiN/gatus/blob/bde30b2efb82982e6b77592cc0c690760906e8d1/core/endpoint.go#L349 By adding something in the config, but I am not sure what, for example it could just be that one should replace http:// with ping:// or something.
Why do you personally want this feature to be implemented?
We have a website that doesn't resolve (403 forbidden) with buildHTTPRequest but does return a success when pinging
