http-ping is a small, free, easy-to-use command-line utility that probes a given URL and displays relevant statistics.
It is similar to the popular ping utility, but works over HTTP instead of ICMP, and with a URL instead of a computer name/IP address.
Use it to:
Discover if a web site is responding to requests;
Test the performance of any web site;
Load-test a web server.
http-ping's simplicity will render it the ideal choice for use in scripts that have to detect if a web server is available and serving pages.
Requirements:
· A Pentium-compatible PC.
· Less than 1 MB free hard drive space for the executable.
