Hi,
back on the same thing as before:
See Orig msg below.
As I only want to know if the page is available for browsing, what are the
result codes I should look for.
and another question:
If I want to read the page title and meta tags, how do I get the content, I
looked into HTTP:: But got lost, any ideas?
Bruno
