You use an incorrect URL. The manual said:
 -u, --url=PATH
   URL to GET or POST (default: /)

What is more I am puzzled why it did not complain about the fact that you
send 2 variables and handle only the first.

It should be more like:

define command{
        command_name    check_http_url
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$
        }

check_http_url!aragorn!/icons/powered_by_fedora.png

This will resul in 'aragorn' being used for the host header
