Problems with ;

[Pete Dewell]

Try setting up $USER$ variables in the resource.cfg file.

e.g.
$USER1$='bla;foo'
$USER2$='pwd'

Then use the command
check_http -t 30 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u "$ARG1$$HOSTADDRESS$$ARG2$" -a 
"$USER1$:$USER2$"

I had similar problems with some passwords, and some other person on 
this list kindly pointed this solution out to me. This also has the 
benefit of hiding your users/pwds from the standard config files.
