I would define a new check command with the extra option and name it 
check_http_401 for example.

I always prefer to leave the examples as they are. If you redefine them 
you will be bitten later.

Then the rest would be rather obvious.

Much like:

define command {
         command_name    check_http_url
         command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$
         }

define command {
         command_name    check_https_url
         command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -S -u $ARG2$
         }

define command {
         command_name    check_https_cert
         command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -S -C $ARG2$
         }
