Does anyone know how to grab a web page from a web server using free pascal
sockets under linux.
Here is what I need to do.
1. I have a server web cluster put together at work.
2. It works great but I need something that can monitor the connected web
servers for problems. The way I need to do it is just do a simple page
request in some code and see if I get a return from the server on a timed
loop.
3. This utility will just then dynamically add or remove servers from the
real server list.
The contents of the page I get back from the server does not need to be
processed I just have to know that I got it.
Any Ideas?

Yeah, try this
Open a stream connection (ie like a telnet connection) to port 80 on the server
and wait for a connection.. then send a string
GET /Filename HTTP/1.0
<Blank Line>
and the server will return the page to you.
ie for my homepage
telnet www.omen.net.au 80
<connect>
GET /~bcampbel/index.htm HTTP/1.0
<blank Line>
--------------------
spews out page here...
<disconnect>
It's that easy
