A http ping???????
http works over TCP, which is at a comparable level to ICMP.
You can use a TCP connect, or an ICMP request, or a UDP connect.
The first and last are done by your browser (or any application which does
FTP/HTTP/Port-Scanning/.....)
ping uses the ICMP protocol.
So you cannot have a http ping, but you can have a TCP connect (or if you want to call
it that, ping).
