MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP object always returning status 200

[mit99mh]

I've got to check urls to ensure they are real before inserting into a db I'm using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP object, it works when the server address (eg abc.intra.abc.com) is correct but incorrectly returns a 200 status code even when a missing file is appended to the server name (abc.intra.abc.com/missing.asp) the url should result in a 404 - any ideas?
CODE:

on Error resume next

strTestUrl = "

http://abc.intra.abc.com/missing.asp"

Set objHttpRequest = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP&quot
objHttpRequest.Open "GET", strTestUrl
objHttpRequest.Send

if(Err.Number <> 0)then
Response.Write &quot;url problem&quot;
else
Response.Write objHttpRequest.Status
end if

Select Case objHttpRequest.Status
Case 200 'No problem!
Response.Write strTestUrl & &quot; is a valid, available URL&quot;
Case 404 'Not found
Response.Write strTestUrl & &quot; could not be found (404 Error)&quot;

Case Else 'Some other problem
Response.Write &quot;An unexpected HTTP Status value was returned: &quot; & .Status
End Select
Set objHttpRequest = Nothing


Any help much appreciated

Hmm, I tried your code on my local machine and gave it a non-existant address locally that it returned a 404 for. I don't see the issue (except for the semi-colong after setting the strTestURL).
