You may want to try the -I and possibly -p 80
check_http v1.4.15-23-g1bc7 (nagios-plugins 1.4.15)
Copyright (c) 1999 Ethan Galstad <nagios@nagios.org>
Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Nagios Plugin Development Team
<nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>

This plugin tests the HTTP service on the specified host. It can test
normal (http) and secure (https) servers, follow redirects, search for
strings and regular expressions, check connection times, and report on
certificate expiration times.


Usage:
check_http -H <vhost> | -I <IP-address> [-u <url>] [-p <port>]
[-w <warn time>] [-c <critical time>] [-t <timeout>] [-L] [-a auth]
[-b proxy_auth] [-f <ok|warning|critcal|follow|sticky|stickyport>]
[-e <expect>] [-s string] [-l] [-r <regex> | -R <case-insensitive regex>]
[-P string] [-m <min_pg_size>:<max_pg_size>] [-4|-6] [-N] [-M <age>]
[-A string] [-k string] [-S] [--sni] [-C <age>] [-T <content-type>]
[-j method]
NOTE: One or both of -H and -I must be specified

Options:
-h, --help
Print detailed help screen
-V, --version
Print version information
-H, --hostname=ADDRESS
Host name argument for servers using host headers (virtual host)
Append a port to include it in the header (eg: example.com:5000)
-I, --IP-address=ADDRESS
IP address or name (use numeric address if possible to bypass DNS lookup).
-p, --port=INTEGER
Port number (default: 80)
-4, --use-ipv4
Use IPv4 connection
-6, --use-ipv6
Use IPv6 connection
-S, --ssl
Connect via SSL. Port defaults to 443
--sni
Enable SSL/TLS hostname extension support (SNI)
-C, --certificate=INTEGER
Minimum number of days a certificate has to be valid. Port defaults to 443
(when this option is used the URL is not checked.)

-e, --expect=STRING
Comma-delimited list of strings, at least one of them is expected in
the first (status) line of the server response (default: HTTP/1.)
If specified skips all other status line logic (ex: 3xx, 4xx, 5xx processing)
-s, --string=STRING
String to expect in the content
-u, --url=PATH
URL to GET or POST (default: /)
-P, --post=STRING
URL encoded http POST data
-j, --method=STRING (for example: HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, PUT, DELETE)
Set HTTP method.
-N, --no-body
Don't wait for document body: stop reading after headers.
(Note that this still does an HTTP GET or POST, not a HEAD.)
-M, --max-age=SECONDS
Warn if document is more than SECONDS old. the number can also be of
the form "10m" for minutes, "10h" for hours, or "10d" for days.
-T, --content-type=STRING
specify Content-Type header media type when POSTing

-l, --linespan
Allow regex to span newlines (must precede -r or -R)
-r, --regex, --ereg=STRING
Search page for regex STRING
-R, --eregi=STRING
Search page for case-insensitive regex STRING
--invert-regex
Return CRITICAL if found, OK if not

-a, --authorization=AUTH_PAIR
Username:password on sites with basic authentication
-b, --proxy-authorization=AUTH_PAIR
Username:password on proxy-servers with basic authentication
-A, --useragent=STRING
String to be sent in http header as "User Agent"
-k, --header=STRING
Any other tags to be sent in http header. Use multiple times for additional headers
-L, --link
Wrap output in HTML link (obsoleted by urlize)
-f, --onredirect=<ok|warning|critical|follow|sticky|stickyport>
How to handle redirected pages. sticky is like follow but stick to the
specified IP address. stickyport also ensures port stays the same.
-m, --pagesize=INTEGER<:INTEGER>
Minimum page size required (bytes) : Maximum page size required (bytes)
-w, --warning=DOUBLE
Response time to result in warning status (seconds)
-c, --critical=DOUBLE
Response time to result in critical status (seconds)
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
Seconds before connection times out (default: 10)
-v, --verbose
Show details for command-line debugging (Nagios may truncate output)

Notes:
This plugin will attempt to open an HTTP connection with the host.
Successful connects return STATE_OK, refusals and timeouts return STATE_CRITICAL
other errors return STATE_UNKNOWN. Successful connects, but incorrect reponse
messages from the host result in STATE_WARNING return values. If you are
checking a virtual server that uses 'host headers' you must supply the FQDN
(fully qualified domain name) as the [host_name] argument.

This plugin can also check whether an SSL enabled web server is able to
serve content (optionally within a specified time) or whether the X509
certificate is still valid for the specified number of days.

Examples:
CHECK CONTENT: check_http -w 5 -c 10 --ssl -H www.verisign.com

When the 'www.verisign.com' server returns its content within 5 seconds,
a STATE_OK will be returned. When the server returns its content but exceeds
the 5-second threshold, a STATE_WARNING will be returned. When an error occurs,
a STATE_CRITICAL will be returned.

CHECK CERTIFICATE: check_http -H www.verisign.com -C 14

When the certificate of 'www.verisign.com' is valid for more than 14 days,
a STATE_OK is returned. When the certificate is still valid, but for less than
14 days, a STATE_WARNING is returned. A STATE_CRITICAL will be returned when
the certificate is expired.
