Using '!' in check_* argument

Hi all,

I'm monitoring through my Nagios some web pages which need authentication. For some reasons, some passwords use the character '!', the delimiter between the check commands' arguments. So the '!' in the passwords aren't seen as a character but as a delimiter, wich make the password false and create some false arguments.

Is there a way to use '!' in arguments ? I tried by escaping it with a '\', quoting it... Nothing worked.

Thanks in advance.
