MSXML2.XMLHTTP Request to validate entered URL in ASP Classic
- by sparkyfied
Hi guys. Thanks in advance for any help received.
I want to allow our client to enter a URL into a text field which then checks whether the URL exists and works.
There are 3 possible outcomes I want to check for:
A status of 200 - OK,
A status of 500 - Server Error,
Or a status of 404 - page not found.
When executing the following code in ASP classic I get a status code of 12007 when I should be getting 404. Is this because it can't find a webserver to return a code of 404?
Function CheckURL(vURL)
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
Set oXML=Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") : oXML.Open "POST",vURL,false : oXML.Send()
CheckURL = oXML.status
Set oXML = nothing
End Function
Or is something amiss here. What status codes am I likely to see other than the standard mentioned above.
