not quite - you'd replace it with

Send=GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.somewebpage.com\r\n\r\n Expect=~Connection
OK

for that. The part after the GET is the page within the site. If the server
uses HTTP virtual hosts, then you must include the Host: section. 
Finally, there should be two sets of \r\n\r\n at the end, otherwise it isn't
a valid HTTP request.

testconnection.asp is a page our customer wrote that simply connects to an
off-site database, and then reports on whether it did or didn't connect.
Something like

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "OurDSN"
If Err.Number = 0 then
        response.write "Connection OK"
end if
conn.close
%>

I think. Wow, it's been a while since I wrote any VBScript! :-)

Best Regards,

Howard
