Checking Remote Server Headers..

    For the life of me I cannot figure this out. I have a script which needs to check the server header of a given remote site for a 200 response.

    ex... website1.com needs to check website2.com's server header.

    I can do all the formatting once I get the 200 response, I just dont know what type of script is needed to generate it. Fyi, my specs are ASP Classic VBScript.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Try using the XMLHTTP object to send a request to the different website and reading the response back.

    Thanks! That certainly got me in the right direction. Im new at XML objects; sorry for my lack of knowledge. I have the code below, if the URL I present it with has a 200 Response (OK) then it redirects without a problem. If the URL is not found or has a 500 error, it gives me an error. The code is below. It is written using ASP VBScript. Any input / correction is greatly appreicated. Thanks!

    <% 
dim GotothisURL, GetConnection, ResponsePage
 GotothisURL = "http://www.slickcar.com"  
 Set GetConnection = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0") 
 GetConnection.Open "HEAD", GotothisURL, False 
 GetConnection.Send  
 
if GetConnection.status ="200" then  
Response.Redirect("http://www.200response.com")
else 
Response.Redirect("http://www.otherresponse.com")
end if 

 Set GetConnection = Nothing 
 %>
