Re: LYNX-DEV Lynx and pinging Web ports

[checking web server responsiveness with lynx | grep]

 ] Anyone have a better idea?  

A C-Kermit script, or a Perl script.  Main reason: it becomes easy to 
make your attempt time out in, say, 10 seconds, if you haven't connected.  
This has the side effect of flagging slow servers (something you probably 
want in such an application).
