When obtaining a web resource, if it's 404 the server will usually return a page noting that for the user. That's all well and good, but the 404 pages I've seen appear to be designed for human reading, and do not appear to have any consistent elements which would allow a machine to identify that the resource was not found.
Is there something in the header that identifies that?
How can I know when a requested URL doesn't exist?
You look at the first response header, it should look like
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
and if there's a 404 it will be
HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found
You look for the status code, not the status string.
You can see this using the form at http://www.delorie.com/web/headers.html
Thank you, Frank.
Am I under-caffeinated today -- why can't I find the libURL call to get the header info coming back from the server?
