Your command-definition with command_name check_http might not allow 
arguments to be passed. In this case you might want something that looks 
like this;
define command{
	command_name	check_http_page
	command_line	/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -u $ARG3$ -s $ARG4$

and a service-check with a check_command line like this;
	check_command	check_http_page!5!10!/directory/page.do!string
