"ping /?" will give you help associated with the command. ping will only
return on the host/ip address and to my knowledge is not meant to check
validity of a url.

Subject: PING to check URL


I can't find any documentation on using the PING command to check for a
valid URL. The alternative is to force my users to do it, when all I
want is to check its validity before allowing them to enter it on my
site.

Any thoughts?

TIA,
