Nagios HTTP monitoring

If I change the hosts.cfg from the IP of the server (10.10.10.7) to the URL
I'm specifying in services.cfg, it works fine.  The default site for
10.10.10.7 is a CRM site which requires basic auth.  So even though i'm
specifying a URL in services.cfg, it looks like it's be overridden by the
hosts.cfg so it can't auth.  What is the point of the -H switch in
services.cfg if it always uses the IP for the host in hosts.cfg?  I tried
that format (-a admin:password) at the end of the check in services.cfg but
it still failed with unauthorized.
