I verified the ssl connection to the local host with:
  openssl s_client -connect localhost:443  

Then I tried many versions of the check_http incantation, to no avail: 
  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H localhost -p 443
    CRITICAL - Cannot retrieve server certificate.
  
  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H localhost -p 443
    CRITICAL - Cannot retrieve server certificate.

  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H localhost -u https://localhost -p 443
    CRITICAL - Cannot retrieve server certificate.

  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -S -H localhost -u https://localhost
    CRITICAL - Cannot retrieve server certificate.

Is there anything else I could be doing wrong?
On this client, I have installed the following debian 3.1 packages:
nagios-common           2:1.3-cvs. 2:1.3-cvs.
nagios-nrpe-plugin      2.0-7      2.0-7
nagios-nrpe-server      2.0-7      2.0-7
nagios-plugins          1.4-6      1.4-6
nagios-text             2:1.3-cvs. 2:1.3-cvs.
