No I want to be able to see the content of another server (data server only) But I can see if the content exist but I can link to the content if I know that he exist. So I just want to have a way to verify if the content exist. After I can show it no problem. Do you have an other way (other than php) to see the content of an other source?? I can change my application an write it in an other language.... thx
