Hi Stéphane.

I am checking the variable "$httpcode" to see what it returns. For example,
if it is equal to "404", I know I have a "file not found" situation.
However, for jsp and pdf files (so far), $httpcode is coming back equal to
zero.

If my whole approach is wrong or if there is a more correct way to do this,
I'll take any advice!

Thanks,
steve
