how to check for a url

[eitan]

hi

i wrote a program that retrieves data from a url.

i used $var=inetget(url) and i perform certain actions if

$var=1.

my problem is that if the url is down, my program hangs

and gets stuck.

what is the correct (best) way to check the url before performing

actions?

thanks
