Working with him offline and testing myself, this doesn't appear to be
working as expected --

[nagios at betelgeuse nagios]$ ./libexec/check_http -a testuser:test -s
\/HTML [host removed]
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1 second response time 

[nagios at betelgeuse nagios]$ ./libexec/check_http
--authorization=testuser:test -s \/HTML [host removed] 
./libexec/check_http: unrecognized option `--authorization=mpowell:test'
check_http: unknown argument - (null)
Usage:
 check_http (-H <vhost> | -I <IP-address>) [-u <uri>] [-p <port>]
            [-w <warn time>] [-c <critical time>] [-t <timeout>] [-L]
            [-a auth] [-f <ok | warn | critcal | follow>] [-e <expect>]
            [-s string] [-r <regex> | -R <case-insensitive regex>]
            [-P string]
 check_http (-h | --help) for detailed help
 check_http (-V | --version) for version information
