Nice try. But I think the \x syntax is not working here. Searching for the 
letter 'e' with the google.com page will reveal that:

Using the normal style:

% check_http -H google.com -4 -f follow -r 'e'
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 10137 bytes in 0.109 second response time |
time=0.108887s;;;0.000000 size=10137B;;;0

Using the \x style:

% check_http -H google.com -4 -f follow -r '\x65'
HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - pattern not found - 10115 bytes in 0.115 
second response time |time=0.115077s;;;0.000000 size=10115B;;;0

I was looking in the source of check_http and they are using regcomp(). And 
the manpage of regcomp links to regex and this manpage for regex says nothing 
about a "\x" syntax.

At least I can't find anything about it
