check_site with username/password

[Tom Throckmorton]

Joost,

You could also put the password in your resource.cfg, then refer to it 
using a macro, something like...

in resource.cfg:

  $USER6$=password!

in checkcommands.cfg:

  check_http_auth!www.site.nll!/page/to/check!username:$USER6$

In addition to negating the need to escape your password, this method 
also prevents the password from being visible in the configuration cgi, 
which depending on your site policy, may or may not be important.
