I need a java function

[rookie]

I need a java function that accepts a web URL (as string), and returns one of the following codes (also a string) (after receiving/parseing the reponse from the server):
00 - Received an XML page
01 - No Response (timed out or server down)
02 - Invalid URL (a file not found)
03 - Received a NON-XML Page

One can determine whether or not it's an xml page by looking at the first few characters &quot;<?xml_version&quot;. Java is not my cup of tea (coffee?). Is this difficult?
Is anyone up for it?

So you are checking it from the client? Use either an Applet, which will work in NS, or the XMLHTTP object provided by Microsoft.

This way you can do it from the client.
