Looks like that works, perhaps you should use that command for your
check?

This one appears to work too, and would be safer to use because the
user/pass are stored in the resource.cfg which should not be accessible
by regular users. I would use this method to check your http service.

I'm not sure what to think about this. I don't think it is a good idea
to change the $USER1$ macro though, as that should point to your
<path_to_nagios>/libexec/ directory. If you change this, then all of the
definitions in checkcommands.cfg may begin to fail. Not good.
