I am looking for a way to test the availability of our webserver from a
batch job on the HP3000. I was using Telnet online to access the webserver
on port 80 and then typing the http commands and waiting for the webserver
to respond. This worked great. Unfortunately Telnet does not run in batch.

The commands I was entring were:

GET /cgi-bin/webtest HTTP/1.1
Host: www.cannex.com
Accept: */*

Does anyone have a method, without having to write a program in a 3GL, that
would accomplish this simple task.

Thanks for your help.
