You can use check_http via proxy as below --

define command {
    command_name                   check_proxy
    command_line                   $USER1$/check_http -H www.mysite.foo
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p 8080 -wt 20 -ct 30 -to 35 -u http://www.mysite.foo
    }

Where $HOSTADDRESS$ is the IP of your proxy. However, it is my
understanding that you can't check the validity of the Certificate
because check_http doesn't implement the CONNECT protocol to tunnel the
HTTPS connection to the other side.
