I wrote a simple one a while ago, but I don't think it went into production. Was a while ago now.
Sometimes, web browsers and internet connections screw up, but that doesnt mean your site is down. Assuming the others have written their software in a similar way. You ever seen an image not load, but press F5 and its back?
Well depending on how these other programmes are coded, I guess they should report some sort of error.
If you have ever seen a webpage that doesnt show its page objects until the page has completed loading, this works in a similar way. You just have to loop through the html objects, images, etc until the status is loaded, then you know your site is up. If it doesn't, you can assume something is wrong.
I will try to find the source code for it, incase anyone wants to use it or adapt it.
Regards
Andy
