check_http and HTTP Basic Authentication

[Marc-André Doll]

Hi all,


I'm trying to reach a website hosted on a IIS webserver and supervise it
with check_http (from the nagios-plugins v1.4.13 bundle). This website
asks for a Basic HTTP authentication, so I tried

check_http -H 'my.server' -a 'domain\user:pass' -f follow

and got :

HTTP WARNING - 401 Unauthorized

So i tried this to check if the username/password was correct :

wget http://my.server/ --http-user='domain\user' --http-passwd='pass'

and got :

HTTP request sent, waiting response ... 401 Unauthorized
Reusing existing connection to my.server:80
HTTP request sent, waiting response ... 401 Unauthorized
Reusing existing connection to my.server:80
HTTP request sent, waiting response ... 200 OK

What am I supposed to understand ? Is that a flawn in check_http Basic
Authentication implementation or a IIS configuration issue ?

Thank you,

Marc-André
