PLEASE ! check web server status

You could download ASPping from http://www.serverobjects.com/products.htm

too convoluted


Dim oHTTP = Server.CreateObject("WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest")
oHTTP.
oHTTP.Open "GET","http://SecondServer/",False
oHTTP.Send

If oHTTP.Status = "200" Then
  'OK
End If

again
====
Dim oHTTP = Server.CreateObject("WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest")
oHTTP.Open "GET","http://SecondServer/",False
oHTTP.Send

If oHTTP.Status = "200" Then
  'OK
End If

the progid should be as follows:

<%@Language="VBScript"%>
<%
Dim oRequest
Set oRequest = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
oRequest.Open "GET", "http://www.yahoo.com/",False
oRequest.Send

If oRequest.Status = "200" Then

      Response.Write "OK"
End If

%>

If the webserver is offline, how do you plan to host these status pages? On the other server? And what if it is offline?

Just some random thoughts.

cjinsocal581, the answer is Javascript from any PC

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

var xmlhttp;

function check(){

      var url="http://www.yahoo.com";

      try{
            xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
      }catch(e){
            try{
                  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            }catch(e){
                  try{
                        xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
                  }catch(e){
                        xmlhttp=null;
                  }
            }
      }
      try{
            xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=Loaded;
            xmlhttp.send(null);
      }catch(e){
            alert(e.message);
      }
}

function Loaded(){
      alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
}

just to make it better, I would extend it to support  -->  Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0

my web page is host at third server, i need to display the the user whether the other 2 server whether is online or offline
when user browse my web page, they can know whether the other 2 server is online or offline. the web page will display the word "offline" when the web server is  offline. if online will show  "online" on the web page.

The XMLHTTP object piggy backs off wininet.dll and is not suited for ASP applications.

Microsoft recommends the use of Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP which actually implements the WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 (WINHTTP.DLL) a new implementation that provides better functionality for ASP applications.

Do not use XMLHTTP on the server side.

the code by davidlars99 is perfectly legitimate, however on the client-side. But the drawback of using that client-side code is that it is specific to MSIE

> it is specific to MSIE...

it works with IE and Mozilla and others, this does the trick -->  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); <-- this is not IE

I stand corrected [does not occur too many times =) ] by davidalars99. The code would work in Mozilla but will not work with lower and older browsers.

In my opinion, if you can get a cross browser Mozilla-MSIE client-side script that works for newer browser, it is okay in my books. There's just too little in usage with other browsers to worry about unless you have the budget for this sort of thing

...and of course there's always a tricky way to walk around the problem...  :)

check this out, it works for *ALL* browsers as long as they support frames and javascript

davidlars99, the code u post not work.  is i save the code in .asp ok?

derick_loo, that code is javascript... however I'm glad you accepted your answer wizely  :)

halo sajuks, the code u give me whether need install Microsoft office in the machine? if I use windows 2000 server without microsoft office, is the code function?
Please.....

Microsoft office shouldnt be a criteria but Microsoft.XMLHTTP should be there which would already be there
if your browser has the latest updates and patches
