The published code had errors, but the idea of getting a connection
(url.openConnection)and testing response code in header with
con.setRequestMethod("HEAD") and con.getResponseCode() should work like your
example of a JSP.

I don't think so...the last example I saw was making system calls to ps and
looking for a particular entry in the process table, and the other one I saw
was just checking to see if a response came back (a 404 or 500 or other
error is a valid response but not the one you want). That doesn't do
anything. Perhaps I missed another example that was posted.
