Cannot get check_http to authenticate

[Jason Smedley]

I'm trying to check status on a web site which requires basic  
authentication.  This is not auth from the web app, but a pop-up  
window from Apache.

My command string is:

check_http -H www.somedomain.com -v -a user:pass

It always returns HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required

I can successfully connect to another apache based site using the same  
command string.

 From the verbose output, the only difference I can see between the  
two sites is this line:
"WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="Restricted Access", nonce="V 
+kWjRNCBAA=8226d42966b0325c9124341db605f1eb57b7ff35", algorithm=MD5,  
domain="/ /gallery /forum", qop="auth"

The one I can authenticate to has this:
"WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Restricted Access"

Any ideas?

Thanks
