Check if a website is up and change the topic to match

The final version would be

Code:

bind TIME - * checkHostReachableset temp(chan) "#channel"set temp(url) "www.chanrank.com"package require httpproc checkHostReachable {min hour day month year} {global tempif {[catch {set tok [http::geturl "http://$temp(url)"]http::cleanup $tokreturn 1} err]} {if {[string match -nocase "*host is unreachable*" $err]} {putserv "TOPIC $temp(chan) :Website is down"} else {putserv "TOPIC $temp(chan) :Website is UP"}}}

yet i tested another version

Code:

bind time - * change:topicset temp(chan) "#channel"set temp(website) "www.website"proc change:topic {min hour day month year} {global tempset website [http::config -useragent "Mozilla"]set website [http::geturl "http://$temp(website)" -timeout 50000]set updown [http::status $website]set err [http::error $website]http::cleanup $websiteswitch -exact -- $updown {"ok" {putserv "TOPIC $temp(chan) :the website is UP"}"eof" {putserv "TOPIC $temp(chan) :the website is down"}error {putserv "TOPIC $temp(chan) :Website is $err"}}}

yet at the second version i couldnt test the EOF part it only worked if the website was UP and running but i heard the second version is more likely to be as it shouldl

So use the first version

Check if a website is up and change the topic to match

2013-02-07T03:36:39-04:00

Iv searched google and the archive, maybe I missed something but either way I'm putting this request here. If you know of something let me know what to search for or where to look. I don't mind doing some more digging.

What I'm looking for is a script that checks if a configured website is up eg returning the html status code 200 this can just be from a trigger, and then update the topic to say the website is up or down or just poke fun of the person if the site not down on a check.

I'm not afraid of a little work but I'm no coder the best I can do is edit existing scripts.

Thanks for any help.
