set xmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

xmlHttp.open "POST", applicationpath & "http://xyz.com/some.asp", false

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

xmlHttp.send "Rajjjjjj"

My Problem is that, if the URL which I specify is not available, I mean if the Server to whom I am sending the Request is down, then I get an Error. How can this be handled? To stimulate this process I mean sending a request to a different m/c and then that m/c gives me the response. This works perfectly fine. Now if I stop the IIS of the other server, I get an Error for the Send method. Can we check any how if the URL which I specifies is alive.

Thanks in Advance
Raj

check the status property, which corresponds to the http response code so 200 is OK, 404 is not found etc.

Hi,

I am checking the status property, but this property is to be checked after the .send() method is called. The problem is I am getting the Error on the .send() line. Here's the error what I am getting. This is when the Server is down.

OIC, u need to use ServerXMLHTTP component, not XMLHTTP. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290761 (take note of part about proxy config if u go thro proxy server).

Hi,
Well Tried this. Didn't work :-( I tried with both ServerXMLHTTP and XMLHTTP. Since I am doing the stimulation in the Network itself, the ? of Proxy doesn't arises. Anyway I found a work around. I was getting Error for the .send method. I just added the foll lines.
on error resume next
    xmlHttp.send strBody
    errNo = err.number
And then checking if the errNo == "0", then proced or give an alert. Now the II problem is if the URL which I give is to http://mach1/a.asp and if the a.asp doesn't exists or for some reason is being shifted. How do I tackle that. With the above work around I can only see if the Server is up or not. If the Server is up and the URL is wrong I still get the errNo as 0. How can I tackle this situation.
