hi,

iam using roUrlTransfer to fetch data from a server.
My question is how do recognize whether server is connected or not.
if not connected how to identify the connection is not successfull.
It should throw an error when internet connection is not available.

Ravi Pulluri.

Pass ping() a url for some file on your server. "http://www.myserver.com/chk.txt"

Function Ping( url as string ) as boolean
? "* Ping "+url

o = CreateObject( "roUrlTransfer" )
o.SetUrl( url )
ev = sock.Head()
x = ev.GetResponseCode()
if x <> 200
return false
endif

return true

End Function
