Change to the httpstatus test.
httpstatus[=COLUMN];URL;okstatusexpr;notokstatusexpr
"This is used to explicitly test for certain HTTP statuscodes returned when the URL is requested. The okstatusexpr and nokokstatusexpr expressions are Perl-compatible regular expressions, e.g. "2..|302" will match all OK codes and the redirect (302) status code. If the URL cannot be retrieved, the status is "999"."
List '401' as an accepted return code. If you want to make sure it won't return any data without authentication, list all others as unacceptable.
