CHECK_HTTP odd behaviour

[Paul WILLIS PSE 55499]

Well I tried writing a wrapper script to see what check_http was actually receiving. The answer would appear to be absolutely nothing, in
fact check_http is never even getting called. Something in the parameters would appear to be causing nagios to throw an exception when
trying to make the call that is caught and  treated as a critical error with a null reply.
When I went through the -A parameter and escaped every non-standard character everything burst into life, the wrapper reported the correct
string and check_http reported the site as up. 
Clearly that whereas bash only needs $ and ` escaping within inverted commas nagios must have a larger list, including I would guess either the ; or the :
Thanks for the help
