I suggest that you write a shell plugin using curl, which allows you to 
display only the http_code that you want:
#! /bin/bash
HTTPCODE=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}\n" http://www.example.com/)
err=$?
if ! [ $err -eq 0 ]
then
     echo "Sorry, curl failed : $err code returned"
fi
case $HTTPCODE in
200)
echo "Http code 200 was returned"
;;
401)
echo "Http code 401 was returned"
;;
*)
echo "Httpcode $HTTPCODE was returned"
;;
esac
