We're seeing a situation where our server that is processing requests may be
down, but we're not able to detect that in our INetLib-based Palm VIIx
client application.

In our application, we  prefer not to fetch HTTP headers because of the
extra bandwidth usage.  However, I don't see any way to find out the status
of the remote server other than by parsing these headers -- I can't find out
if the proxy failed with a 500, or the server just isn't there with a 404,
as far as I can tell.

Is there anyway to get that status info (just the HTTP error number would be
fine) without grabbing full HTTP headers?  Nothing seems obvious, but I
wanted to pose the question here in case someone else had found a good way
to deal with this.

Thanks!
