It's looking more and more clear that your command{} definition doesn't
do what you think it does. You don't usually specify switches such as -H
and -a as part of the service definition. Perhaps you should post the
host, service and relevant command definitions for us to look at. I know
for a fact that check_http can and will work the way you want if
properly called.
