You make a socket connection to the other server, perform a GET request on a page (preferably small), examine the returned headers for a Status 200 (which means OK). If you get that, the webserver responded and served up the page. You might just be able to do a HEAD request, but I haven't tried it. -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).
