Not al pages suppost GET. If a page pings and returns does not mean it can be logged into and work (maybe database down). Have you seen soapui?

I am developing a small application that tests multiple websites and compares their "response time". Some of these sites do not respond to a ping and, for the measurement to be standardized, all sites must have the same action preformed upon them. Another problem is that not all of the sites have the same page size and I am not interested in how long it takes to load a page but instead just how long it takes for the website to respond. Finally, I am looking to keep this script platform independent, if at all possible. Here is the code: try: # Get the starting time origTime = time.time() # Create the socket connection and then close s = socket.socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((targetIP, port)) s.send("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") result = s.recv(1024) s.shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) except: result = "" # Check for problems and report back the time if result == "": return Result((time.time() - origTime) * 1000, True) else: return Result((time.time() - origTime) * 1000, False) Result is just an object that holds the time it took for the method to finish and if there were any errors. What I am worried about is that the socket is potentially closed before the website can finish sending in all the data. Does anyone have any suggestions or is the script fine as it is? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
