Check_http reporting critical but site is okay

[csmithers]

Hi,

I have been tasked with monitoring a website (learningpoint.net) to check its online status.. when using check_http it is reporting critical, at first i thought my nagios knowledge was off so i set up google.com aswell and that is showing as up... any reason why the first site is critical?

Can you run a command-line test for this site and show us what command you're testing and the output it returns?

Is this site using SSL?
