Hi,

There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is to put a tine file on your server, e.g. with just a "1", and check if you can download this file:

Code: Select all

put url "http://www.yourdomain.xyz/the1.htm" into myStatus
put the result into rslt
if rslt is not empty then
  beep
  answer error rslt
else if myStatus is 1 then
  // do your thing
else
  beep
  answer error "Sorry, an error occurred."
end if
In some cases, I've noticed that rslt would also contain the URL that is being contacted. I guess that is/was a bug. So, you might want to check for this as well:

Code: Select all

if rslt is not empty and not (rslt begins with "http") then
Kind regards,

Mark
