If you are checking for the site to be up, you may as well check that everything is working ok also.. What I do is use cfhttp to get my home page - but I add a special url parameter which tells my page to add an entire record from my user's database at the bottom of the page. (I use my own record so I know if I made any recent changes). I then compare that page to a copy I store in the database. (I mark changeable sections like my banner ad so I do not count that part of the page).. if it is different, I save the page into the database and send a text alert to my cellphone which tells me a change has been made.. along with a link to a page on my website which shows me the code view of the old version as well as the new version so I can see what has changed.
This allows me to: 1. Know if the page is working 2. Know if the page has changed (as in the recent ftp hacks) 3. Know if the database was hacked 4. Know if the database server is working At 11:36 AM 4/6/2010, you wrote: >Hello, > >Is there a way to use cfhttp to see if a site is down?
