I suppose the website you want to check does not use HTTP Basic 
Authentication (which the -a switch of check_http uses). Maybe it uses 
a form where you have to enter username and password and then press the 
submit button? In this case you need the -P switch for posting your 
credentials.

If you are not sure, just use a browser: Do you get a popup windows from 
your browser which asks you to enter username and password? Then it's 
basic auth. Or do you get a form? Then it's application specific and 
you need to post your data.

If the site is publically available, just tell us the URL and we will be 
able to help you.

Christopher
