Hi All,
What's the most reliable way of detecting whether a remote website is

ping might tell you if the IP address is active but that's all... it won't tell
you if the server is running or servicing requests... you have to request
something from the server to see if it is servicing requests... the easiest and
smallest would be to request the headers (only) from the root...
