The command will be executed as the Nagios application user, usually  
nagios. If it works on the command line as nagios, but not in Nagios,

I'm sure you can use check_http for this, though I don't have an  
example. If I recall correctly, it is something like ./check_http -H  
proxy_server -u http://external.site.com/url -a username:password.
