Re: Retrieve website status

Darren,

In HTTPAPI you could do this:

monitor;
   http_string('GET': 'http://your-url-here');
on-error;
   // site is down.
endmon;

There's no requirement that anything be written to the IFS.  Not sure where that came from.

I have a request to check an internal website, which, in a browser,

the PC server is operating the way we want it to. If not, I'll be feeding
some kind of notice into our messaging software. What kind of technology
should I be looking at to get a bit of data from a website? I'm currently
looking at HTTPAPI, although I don't need the results to go to an IFS
file. I've done a little with socket programming to a 3rd party software
engine, but I haven't done it to a webpage before.
