HTTPS authentication problem

[Pete Dewell]

I am trying to use check_http to check an HTTPS site with 
authentication. The password contains both "$" and "!". I can use the 
command from the command line and get an OK if I use

check_http -H host -S -a user:pas\$word\!

or by using ... -a user:'pas$word!'

I have set up a command and tried both the \$ and the single quotes in 
the command, but all I get back is a "warning ..401 unauthorized" 
message from Nagios.
I have other check_http -a with "!" in the passwords that work ok, so I 
am assuming that the problem is with the "$", and the way Nagios uses it 
as a delimiter for internal variables.

Any ideas please?
