We really don't have enough information to do anything but guess. An  
educated one would be that there doesn't appear to be a daemon listing  
on port 80 on <hostname or IP>. My speculation is either that the  
command definitions are different between the two versions (or your  
test) or the -H parameter is different between them (i.e. define host 
{ address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx } is different or the macro you're using in  
the command definitions is different.) You could also have a firewall  
preventing that connection but you don't mention it being present.

At the very least you're trying to connect via SSL (-S) to port 80  
(HTTP), which is extremely unusual. Is that a special server  
configuration you've created?

As you can see, at the minimum posting real, complete definitions are  
necessary to tell you what's going on. Grab them from objects.cache  
and also working/non-working log entries from nagios.log.
