arguments in the check_command are separated by a '!':
   check_command	check_http!401

You would use the -e flag in your actual command definition:
   command_line		check_http -e $ARG1$ ....


It probably wouldn't hurt for you to (re-)read the docs:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#command
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service
