Change the webserver an allow nagios to access it unauthenticated.
(I would not recommend this.)

Or allow 401 responses to be valid responses.
  -e, --expect=STRING
     String to expect in first (status) line of server response (default: HTTP/1.)
     If specified skips all other status line logic (ex: 3xx, 4xx, 5xx processing)

Or send along a username/password combo so you know that part works as 
well.
  -a, --authorization=AUTH_PAIR
     Username:password on sites with basic authentication
