The nagios plugins need to run on the host running the nagios daemon.

Currently there is no simple extensible plugin daemon like NRPE for 
Windows.  So you need 2 programs: 1 on the Windows machine to monitor the 
application, and 1 on the nagios server to query your program on the 
windows machine.


If your subject is implying the need to check an application using HTTP, 
check_http should give you all the facilities you need.
