In the process of researching how to "ping" a URL to check its validity, a quick solution of just checking for a string involving "HTTP 404 Error" and variations of it presented itself as a quick solution. Is there currently a "default" standard for web servers for 404 errors? Is there a specific HTTP header or META tag I can look for in the page that gets returned when the page does not exist on the server? (This would probably be more consistent - if it exists) Any advice here would be great!!! Thanks, David Siegel mailto:david.siegel@dialogic.com
