very good utility to check urls.  I use to to check is ps gateway urls are up and ok , ps sites are up and working.

http-ping [-t] [-n count] [-i interval] [-f file-name] [-s] [-v]
          [-q] [-c] [-r] [-w timeout] [-p] [-d] [-o data | -of file-name] URL

Where:
    URL            The URL you wish to check. For example, http://www.kiva.org,
                   http://209.191.122.70, or http://www.yourhost:8080.
                   Be sure to surround an IPv6 address with square brackets. For
                   example, http://[2a00:1450:4007:800::1014].

Options:
    -t             Ping the specified URL until stopped.
                   To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
                   To stop - type Control-C.
    -n count       Send 'count' requests. Supercedes -t.
    -i interval    Wait 'interval' seconds between each request. There is a
                   1-second wait if this option is not specified.
    -f file-name   Save responses to file 'file-name'. Please specify the full
                   path, and use quotes around file names with spaces.
    -s             Silent. Print no output.
    -v             Verbose. Print detailed output. Supercedes -s.
    -q             Quick. Perform HTTP HEAD requests instead of GETs. This will
                   retrieve headers only, and bytes reported will be 0.
    -c             Perform a full connection on each request; ignore keep-alive.
    -r             Follow HTTP redirects.
    -w timeout     Wait 'timeout' seconds for a response before timing out.
                   Specify 0 to avoid timing out.
                   If not specified, the default timeout is 30 seconds.
    -p             Use the proxy defined in the Windows Internet settings.
    -d             Print the date and time of each ping attempt.
    -o data        Perform HTTP POSTs sending the given data. Please enclose
                   the data in quotes if it contains spaces.\n"
    -of file-name  Perform HTTP POSTs sending the contents of file 'file-name'.
                   Please specify the full path, and use quotes if the file name
                   contains spaces.
