Question about check_http plugin

[Pete Dewell]

Try using the -a option on the plugin.

I have a check-http-auth command defined as

define command {
command_name        check-http-auth
command_line        $USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -a ARG1$ -p $ARG2$
}

then the check_command is
   check-http-auth!username:password!80

If you want to, you ca hide the username and password in the 
resource.cfg file, as $USER$ variables, so that the check_command becomes
   check-http-auth!$USER5$:$USER6$!80

Works pretty well when you need to have authentication on a website.
