You could write your own plugin - a simple bash script - that calls the
original check_http, tests the result, and then outputs whatever you
need. Should be about five or six lines of code. Don't forget to return
the same exit code as what you got from check_http.

# call the regular plugin here
output=$(...../check_http .....)
result=$?
# output whatever you need. You can of course also make it conditional with
# if [ $result -eq 0 ] or similar. Get as fancy as you want, just keep
the output to a single line.
echo $url $output
exit $?

Put it into your plugin directory, make it executable, and use that
instead of the original call to check_http.

Don't you love how customizable Nagios is?
