Do you *really* need to know whether the HTTP connection is up, or is it OK
if you are just informed of any error conditions (couldn't resolve DNS,
connect timed out) by libwww? In that case, just register a handler which
gets called when anything happens to your request, using HTNet_addAfter() -
or if this is not enough, look at HTAlert_add().

Cheers,

  Richard
