Please don't test your plugins as root. Root has greater access than the
nagios user.

check_http only works with htaccess authentication. Is that what you're
using?

> Redirection to https://myhostname.fqdn:443/security/LoginFrameset.jsp
> GET /security/LoginFrameset.jsp HTTP/1.0
> User-Agent: check_http/v1861 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11)
> Connection: close
> Host: myhostname.fqdn
> Authorization: Basic Y2JsdC1pdDowbjN3QHl0MWNrM3Q=

It's following the redirection and sending the htaccess authentication
(Authorization) as it should.

I have a feeling the above are going to be relevant.

I'm not sure why it's returning this since you didn't tell it to search
for a string above. Is the above the complete command line you used?
